X11 forwarding and nfs mounting in -current


First of all I am not definite on that it is related to -current, but it could be, because some time ago everything worked.
General info: I have 2 slack boxes of slackware-current

X11 forwarding. Turned on in sshd_config and when ssh -X host and firefoxing get:
Code:
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 1 error_code 9 request_code 55 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.)
nfs. when trying to mount get:
Code:
mount: RPC: Program not registered
googling revealed that this should be connected with editing /etc/hosts.allow, but before that did not matter. Now it does not matter either.

to both these problems, a general question: what packages should be installed for them to work? Have removed some recently...

Thanks.

Yes, and /etc/rc.d/rc.nfsd to be sure.
Actually mounting works for one of the computers and doesn't for another one. Can't find difference between them. Don't know what to do.

Solved 1.5 of my problems. The reason for nfs not mounting on one of the computers was... my great stupidity. Forgot to launch a nfsd on the other one. Spend HALF A DAY ON SOLVING IT. Don't like computers. However an error, which mount returned could have been more informative.

As for ssh -X it is still not working. But ssh -Y is. However as far as I don't understand the difference between them, can't use -Y. Has anyone ssh -X working on -current? What packages related to X have you installed?
