[X-Unix] !@#$@!#$%$% X11 (in Leopard of course)!

I've been liking Leopard at the gui level very much! But the changes  
they made affecting my command line use are real P.I.A.s!!!

At home I did an upgrade install of 10.5 over 10.4 and X11(and  
everything else) works perfectly! I do an 'ssh -Y <hostname>' into any  
one of my linux machines and launch an X app and it just comes up.  
Very nice (though the new autolaunching of X11 is ... strange ... when  
you used it the other way before).

On my laptop I did an Archive and Install to see if a "clean"  
installation was any different or better. It's different allright, but  
not better! Grrr.

Here if I do an 'ssh -Y <hostname>' and run an X app from one of my  
linux boxes, nothing ever comes up!

Anybody else had this and overcome it?

P.S.

Along the same lines, nice that I can use flat files to enable NFS  
shares so I don't need to use NFS Manager (which is not an option  
since it's not compatible with 10.5), but GEEEZZ! The whole /etc/ 
exports format  just HAS to be entirely different!!! Took so #$%$#^^&  
long to get something so simple up .... Is it a BSD-ism or do they  
just want to annoy?
