[Bug 1697891] Re: SSH X11 forwarding broken on Zesty

[Etienne Papegnies]

** Description changed:

  ouroumov at Edge:~$ ssh -X ouroumov at 10.42.0.1 pluma
- ouroumov at 10.42.0.1's password: 
+ ouroumov at 10.42.0.1's password:
  X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
  
- (pluma:30718): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: 
+ (pluma:30718): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
  ouroumov at Edge:~$
  
  This used to work in 16.04.
  This is problematic because among other things, it prevents one from using x2x.
+ 
+ Note: in this experiment, the ssh command is executed on a Zesty client,
+ and the target is a Xenial Server
