I can't seem to get the gimp to launch remotely using Apple's X11. I installed X11 and the SDK, fink, fink commander, and the gimp. The gimp runs fine locally.

I turned on x11forwarding in the sshd_config file on the remote machine. When connecting with ssh -X and then trying to run gimp I get this error:

Xlib: connection to "localhost:10.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:10.0


Any help,
kman

Did you remember to do an xhost + on the remote machine before ssh'ing into your home box? That'll trip it up.

I thought that was bad, security-wise. Isn't ssh -X the prefered method of forwarding? I'm pretty much an X11 newbie, so bear with me here.
