If running on a relatively recent version of OpenSSH (and you should
/never/ run on an old version), I recommend:
ssh -Y mythbox
The -X, by default, results in "untrusted" X11 forwarding, so you'll
typically get some problems with nearly all X apps (including MythTV)
such as "Bad atom" this and "X Error" that because they need "trusted"
access to display resources.
