[GNC] GNUCash never starts over forwarded X session

[Andrew Clark]

I've tried connecting using both putty and Bitvise SSH client to forward
the X session. Both hang at the same point:

Xauth is installed on the machien running gnucash:

aclark at discus 1 ~ $ dpkg -l xauth
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
|
Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii  xauth          1:1.0.10-1   amd64        X authentication utility

I've tried running Xnest on the remote machine and then gnucash in that,
but it still doesn't work.

e.g.

Xnest :10 &
DISPLAY=:10.0 gnucash

Hangs in the same place.

Things like DISPLAY=10:.0 xeyes work though.
