I am able to log into my office machine (5.0-RELEASE) with ssh from home
just fine. However when I attempt to start an X-app (with putty), I get
the error: 

lorax: [/etc/ssh] $ evolution &
[1] 674
lorax: [/etc/ssh] $ Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to localhost:10.0 broken
(explicit kill or server shutdown).

What did I miss? I have a fragment of a memory about adding my home
machine to some file somewhere on my office box in order for my home
machine to have permission to receive forwarded X applications? 

Thanks
