7.04: X11 remote display problem

[bill purvis]

Still clutching at straws - I decided to check if I could still use ssh
from the server to get back to the laptop:

(this is in an ssh session from felix->bohuslav)

bohuslav $ ssh felix
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Linux felix 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Sun Sep 23 19:50:39 UTC 2007 i686
Last login: Wed Nov 21 20:59:31 2007 from bohuslav
felix $ 

That works fine, though I'm not too sure about the Warning: message.
Could this have any relevance to my problems?
