X11 forward in F12



What in the name of all that's holy do I need to install/enable/disable
to get X11 forwarding to work
in F12?

I had a vague recollection that the default SELinux policy blocked it in
F12, but I disabled SELinux, and
I still can't get X11 forwarding to work.

The shell that I get on the system I ssh into when I use ssh -x doesn't
have the DISPLAY variable set, and
I presume other bits aren't setup either.

This used to "just work(tm)" it's now broken. X11 forwarding isn't
exactly an "obscure feature" either--
sysadmins planetwide use it every day, and anyone with more than 1
Linux box likely uses it every
day as well. Why is it broken in a "stock" F12 install?
