actually, the X is not a ssh config option. It is just at least as big as
the ssh config option. And the X (/tmp/6000+X) is/should be forwarded to :1
on your machine. Do you want to say, that something different is being
forwarded? Do your applications show on someone other's display, and/or
someone other's apps show on yours one?
