+If you change this, you’ll need to restart your SSH server:
+
+/etc/init.d/ssh restart
+
+
+Once your DISPLAY is being passed correctly, some programs may run but act oddly (”Gdk-error: […] BadAtom”, etc.) SSH uses “SECURITY” extensions by default, and some programs don’t work correctly with them. Try:
+
+ssh -Y <hostname>
+
+
+Note that this command may expose your local machine to compromise if someone malicious is in control of the host you’re connecting to.
