[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?
