Essentially what this means is that most X applications will
break if forwarded back to a FC3 system with default config.
Now it wouldn't be so bad if they just wouldn't work.
They break in subtle ways usually related to mouse events.
This is just silly IMHO and will cause no end of hassles
for users trying to figure out what's going on and
also be a waste of time for developers of those X apps
who will receive bogus bug reports.
So can we change the upstream default back to what it used to be?
No, that would be silly. Reverting a security improvement just because
users do not RTFM?
As commented too in the bugzilla entry the change is made long ago in
the upstream OpenSSH. See the FAQ
http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.12
http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.123
Use OpenSSH properly and as documented and all is well.
