Hi,
   I'm on a Gentoo box here and ssh'ed into a remote network at my
folks house. When I log into the Gentoo machine that the router points
to (my dad's desktop) I have no problem displaying an X app
(gnome-terminal for instance) running on that machine here on my
screen. However when I ssh from that machine into another machine on
the network I am unable to get an X app to display here due to dbus
and/or X problems:

laptop1 ~ #


   Is there an obvious fix to this? All the machines are ssh
configured to do X forwarding and when the laptop was here (my mom's
laptop which I configured for her) I was able to ssh into it and
display stuff so I assume it's something to do with the machine in the
middle?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
