A tip. I discovered, when I migrated from Mandriva to Debian, that ssh -Y didn't 
work, because the .xauth credentials weren't being carried over properly when 
you su'd on the target box.

The way round this is to use sux (yes, really) instead of su. This sometimes 
complains but allows full use of X tunneling. sux is available from apt.
