I might be mistaken, but I think it was added to ssh 3.8, where the
X stuff is divided into "safe" and "unsafe", and you can allow ones
while dissallowing the others, in some short experimenting I did, I
found that for most uses you need both, so it looks kind of
worthless (but I don't know the underlying details...), you can
enable them by default in the ssh_config, or keep using that flag.
