hello. All that you have done it seems ok, but, what about the
destination linux ?
i've tryed SuSE for a while, and, even the other system (remote) was FC2
with xhost + and with the export of the X enabled, in SuSE was not
working... SuSE protects almost evertything... for that works, was
necessary to do, with a normal user:
export DISPLAY=:0.0 (current display)
xhost +
and, only like this, the remote apps where able to show in my display.
so, what i recomend is: try to do the same you've done in the remote
system with your local system.
Im using FC2 in my work and FC2 at home, and i can export the display of
the apps to my work computer, without doing anything special...
try it.
if not works, try to see if any X protections are enable..
cheers
