authentication problem


I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I am trying to run a query browser for mysql but keep receiving the following error:
-bash-3.2$ ./mysql-query-browser
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
The application 'mysql-query-browser-bin' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

In ssh_config, I do have ForwardX11 set to yes.
A colleague said he was successfully able to go through my machine and call up the browser with no trouble but can't figure out why I should have this problem. Any suggestions would be helpful...

That didn't help, but thanks for trying.

Are you using ssh -X or ssh -Y?

Yes, we tried both because we weren't sure which was best, but we get the same errors using either one.
