Ok - looks like sshd on 'rees' is configured with the option
'X11UseLocalhost no' - causing the display to be " rees.math:60.0"
instead of 'localhost:60.0'

I just tried this setting on my laptop - and couldn't get it working -
with the error:
--
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
--
I don't know enough about this case. I suspect xauth is not being set
correctly in this senario - perhaps an openssh bug?
