Even though I enabled "X11Forwarding yes" I am not able connect via as "GUI" by using "connect to server" in places. but i could do by nautilus command. as root both way possible, by user unable to connect in GNOME. repeatedly prompting for server password

In KDE no issue every thing is working fine.

thanks in advance for help

If I remember well X11Forwarding allows to open remote X sessions or calling a server's GUI programs in a sort of "seamless" mode, but has nothing to do with mounting resources via sshfs/gvfs (as in nautilus' "connect to server" utility).
Try checking if gvfs and ssh client are correctly installed and with the right permissions on the client machine.

Thnks for suggestion.
I am sorry, since newbie to linux am couldn't check the permission of "gvfs and ssh".
please brief about how to check whether it got installed correctly or not?
