Given that you are login on your own computers you can try with "-Y"flag
(untrusted X11 forwarding) and see how it goes.

Another test you can run is by creating a new user and launching
"slogin -X -vvv macs xterm" session from there.



Thanks for the help...

Neither the -Y option, nor trying a brand-new user made any difference.

Any more suggestions?  I'm still puzzled by this one!
