Thanks for this additional hint. I might be forced to come back to this
list in the near future.

Do you mean things like
~> ssh -X gimp
The program 'gimp' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 142 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

According to your hint I tried
~> ssh -Y gimp
which worked like a charm.

Many thanks. You solved I problem I did not even had once you solved it.
Are you able to see the future?? ;-))
Kind regards
Andreas.
