Re: Problem with X forwarding by openssh-3.8p1

The problem is not that there is no X11-forwarding. For example, gv from the
Linux remote host produces the correct display on the cygwin X-server.
Similarly, xdvi and even netscape also work. However, if I try to run ical, a
linux calendar program, I get the following error message:

X Error of failed request:  BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  18 (X_ChangeProperty)
  Atom id in failed request:  0x105
  Serial number of failed request:  13
  Current serial number in output stream:  16

Lets try this again. You asked for help, I tried to help you, you can at least READ IT THIS TIME!
