I won't be impossible... just might not be coded yet :-)

This is because the box running IP Masq and doen't have a proxy for X
forwarding built in. I believe (from memory) that one of the things the
FAQ mentions is that there in no X proxy for IP Masq written yet.
The only other option I can think of is to connect to the box you want to
run the X app from with ssh and run the app through that. This will work
(I believe) because ssh tunnels the X session through it.
If you haven't played with SSH yet you should... get the package from one
of the non-us mirrors and install it.... it's *much* better then telnet
where you are vulnrable to people sniffing your password.

I don't think this is an X configuration issue. It is an IP Masq issue.
