I think by default X11Forwading is now disabled in SSH. You can either use 
'ssh -X' or change it in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config. I have the following in 
mine:
 ForwardX11 yes
 ForwardX11Trusted yes 

I found out about this actually from Fedora Core 3 Release note. Does RHEL 4 
have a similar release note ?
