Hmm? i haven't seen any problems with it, and i have used SSH (with X) from anything from a mac to fc3 and fc2 computers, to fc3 and fc2 computers. Never any problem. Only thing worth mention is that the mac and fc2 didn't understand the -Y flag, it just said it wasn't a real flag. So we stuck to X, and everything worked. From fc3 we also needed -Y, and then copy/paste would work. No problem whatsoever.
-X of course is going to work. If -Y works for you I'm surprised. Are you saying you pass both -X and -Y? Maybe that disables trusted mode. Copy and paste should not work from a trusted app to untrusted because the untrusted app would need to read data from a trusted window.
Doh, -Y enables trusted X so all the windows are trusted. The default (have untrusted windows) is the thing that doesn't work.
