recent openssh lossage

So, you're probably aware that OpenSSH changed the default for ssh connections to use "untrusted" connections by default (unless you add "ForwardX11Trusted yes" to ~/.ssh/config, as anyone sane will now do.) However, it took me a while to figure this out: the visible effect that this change had on xemacs was to make it impossible to paste to/from ssh-tunneled xemacsen. Apparently the new "untrusted" mode has a side effect something like making XGetProperty not work. So what would be nice would be if xemacs would notice that it was failing because of the "Security" extension and provide a better error message than "no selection" (or whatever it says now.) Perhaps there's some way to tell the security extension that "yes, selection transfers should still be allowed anyway"? I can't make much sense of it, but the protocol spec seems to be hinting that such things are possible? http://davinci01.man.ac.uk/aix433/x11/specs/pdf/security.htm http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.13 -- Jamie Zawinski jwz(a)jwz.org http://www.jwz.org/ jwz(a)dnalounge.com http://www.dnalounge.com/ http://jwz.livejournal.com/
