Am getting "bad atom" errors!


When trying to run firefox, opera, or konqueror from a ssh session, I get "bad atom" error messages. Opera will sometimes run anyway, but not usually, firefox never, and konqueror always. Here is the message from firefox:

[kurt@Mars ~]$ firefox
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)'.
(Details: serial 173 error_code 5 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
[kurt@Mars ~]$

And Opera:

ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

The stuff on the web seems to be about trusted forward in /etc/ssh_config.
X11 forwarding is trusted on this machine.
Any help would be apprecriated, thanks Kurt
