[Bug 518962] [NEW] ssh client does not forward X11 to local user's networked DISPLAY

[Remi Gauvin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openssh-client

Version: openssh-client 1:5.1p1-ubuntu2 on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10)

This is somewhat of a awkward setup, but used to work with older
versions of Ubuntu.

I work on a X-terminal that connects to my main workstation via XDMCP.
Consequently, my $DISPLAY is:

::ffff:10.0.0.10:1.0

If I then ssh -X username at remotehost, and launch a X application (like gedit, for example)
gedit will not open at my DISPLAY.  Rather, gedit will open on the :1 display of the main workstation.  

I was wondering if ssh is getting confused by the ip6 address, but
haven't found a way to force it to IP4 (I can change $DISPLAY by hand
before launching ssh, but then my magic cookie is invalid)
