With the most up to date and secure open ssh and with -X, mythfrontend 
seems to respond fine for me.  I even tested out running mythtv-setup.
Trusted would be needed if you were connecting to a remote server say, 
but even then, everything sent through the tunnel is encrypted.  There 
is no danger to using -X, which us unrelated to the danger of using an 
insecure version of openSSH.  give me a break.
