I have an application that I am running thru SSH X forwarding. The
application works fine on start up, however the primary application
has functions that can be done that seem to call an external program.
Example of such an application is xterm. When X term is chosen and
tries to execute I get the following message:

X11 connection rejected because of wrong Authentication.

The reason that I think this issue is related to SSH X forwarding is
that I can set the DISPLAY will in SSH (not being fowarded at that
time--using strictly X) the application works fine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
