The X server is on Solaris 9 (fonzie) and the GUI applications that I want to run are on a remote Solaris 10 computer (jesus). Both computers are on my local network.
This was working before, but I've just returned after being away from the home office for 8 months. During that time a conventional router was replaced with a VPN router, but I had no need for remote GUI applications while I was away.
A typical session follows:
fonzie% ssh -X jesus
Enter passphrase for key '/home/alan/.ssh/id_rsa':
...
jesus% xemacs &
[1] 746
jesus% ps -Al | grep emacs
0 S 100 746 739 0 40 20 ? 2609 ? pts/1 0:00 xemacs-2
jesus% kill 746
jesus%
Lisp backtrace follows:
# (unwind-protect ...)
make-device(x nil)
# bind (display)
make-x-device(nil)
init-x-win()
# bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left)

# (condition-case ... . ((t (byte-code " " ... 1))))
# bind (error-data)

# (condition-case ... . error)
# (catch top-level ...)
[1] Terminated xemacs

xemacs failed to appear on fonzie's display.
