Update:

I've been able to connect with remote X windows again, however, the
solution to me seems...not right.

I had to do a:

xauth extract - $DISPLAY | ssh root@hqs6000q.genpt.net
/usr/X11R6/bin/xauth merge -

Then:

ssh -Y root@hqs6000q.genpt.net DISPLAY=$DISPLAY nwadmin &

Even though I get my window like I'm expecting, I didn't have to do it
this way on Monday. Also, I thought ssh setup the DISPLAY variable for
you when calling commands like the above. FYI, I also don't seem to
need -X or -Y, they either work or don't work, depending on me adding
the DISPLAY portion of the command. What might I have changed that
would effect the DISPLAY not working? I'm still getting the "Set
program group failed: Not owner" even when the window appears. Anybody
know what that might be?
