I believe this is just a different behavior in caja itself. You see, in
both cases there is already a caja process running. In bionic's version,
if you run caja again, it doesn't bring up a new copy, but instead uses
the existing one to spawn the new windows:
ubuntu@bionic-mate:~$ ps fxaw|grep caja|grep -v grep
10308 ? Sl 0:01 \_ caja
ubuntu@bionic-mate:~$ caja
ubuntu@bionic-mate:~$ ps fxaw|grep caja|grep -v grep
10308 ? Sl 0:01 \_ caja
ubuntu@bionic-mate:~$ caja
ubuntu@bionic-mate:~$ ps fxaw|grep caja|grep -v grep
10308 ? Sl 0:01 \_ caja
ubuntu@bionic-mate:~$
But I have many new windows opened already.
In xenial, I do get new processes:
ubuntu@xenial-mate:~$ caja &
[1] 2764

This is definitely not a problem with openssh, and one could argue caja is
behaving like intended, but I'll leave that for others to decide. Marking the
openssh task as invalid.

Title:
mate 18.04.1 xserver won't open caja on local machine
Status in ubuntu-mate:
New
Status in caja package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS (you know its hostname and IP - i.e.
192.168.1.162)
2. Install SSH server on Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS
3. Open terminal on other remote system (client) and execute command to run
Caja over X forwarding:
ssh -X [email protected] caja
Expected results:
* Caja is shown on remote (client) screen with window title *folder (on
hostname)*
Actual results:
* Caja is not shown on remote (client) screen, but launches on server locally.
Note: this works normally if server runs Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS, but
fails with 18.04 LTS.

Original description below:
I can open a remote terminal using ssh -X 192.168.1.162. All other
gui's that I've tested opened locally except the file manager Caja.
When issuing caja in the remote terminal, I get nothing locally. Caja
does open on the remote machine however, just not locally. The ssh -X
18.04.1 client still works connecting to a mate 16.04 server. I've
tested this on numerous mate 18.04 clients, two 16.04 servers and two
18.04 servers, all mate. Something is wonky with caja on an 18.04.1
server.
Please let me know if I can provide any more information. The only
file manager I've tested that works is an X file manager, xfimage.
X2go works and connects to servers, SSH Connect to Server works, why
isn't the remote X terminal working using caja?
