Ah, something a forgot to mention. I compared a ssh -vvv session against a working fedora server and could not see any difference except for that in the hardy server, once the ssh connection is established, when I do gedit (or xhost +) I just get the error 'can't open display' and no debug info messages... whereas in the fedora box I get ssh debug messages (levels 1,2 and 3) just before the gedit pops up.
