X11 forwarding doesn´t work anymore!?

hi,
X11-Forwarding is enabled in sshd-config.

after ssh -X @remotehost and starting programm nothing seems to happen for a while than take me back to the prompt!?
any ideas?

strange: xclock works, e.g. firefox NOT!

client+server runs FC3

Use "ssh -Y" instead of "ssh-X". The new SSH has made a change to use trusted X11 forwarding for security.

will try...

but yesterday I tried vice versa from ´server´ to ´client´ and it worked!?!
