I have been working on this all weekend and it appears something in F15
has broken the ability to open an X11 app over ssh/vpnc. It works over
ssh to another server on the local network, but it fails when attempting
to ssh over a vpnc connection to work. This worked fine on F14. Just
to double check I installed vpnc on an old F11 VM running on an F14
host, vpn'ed to work, opened an ssh connection to a server, and was able
to open gedit. The failing behaviour is that the gedit window does not
open and the verbose mode of ssh ends with the line "confirm x11" before
terminal window becomes unresponsive.
Putting SELinux in permissive mode does not fix it. Setting the segment
size to 1200 (one recommendation
<http://fixunix.com/x/19398-ssh-x11forwarding-wont-work-please-help.html>)
does not fix it. I installed putty and it displayed similar behaviour.
The only difference was that hitting return repeatedly after the command
resulted a couple of command prompts before it froze. I don't know
whether it is the Gnome3, a bug introduced in F15 or vpnc or some other
package. If someone has any additional suggestions I would be
grateful. Thank you.
