Does it work when you use ssh -Y - -X has not worked for many applications in
years (FC4-ish?) since it requests untrusted X11 forwarding subject to the X11
SECURITY extension restrictions (see man ssh and the discussion of -X/-Y and
ForwardX11Trusted).
Be aware of the fact that you are trusting the remote machine when you use -Y -
it is possible for a malicious user on that system to attack your local X server
via the forwarded connection.
That said though, this is working for me between f15 and older releases and vice
versa with both -X and -Y.

Desktop sharing works fine here in native gnome-shell mode. There are a few
visual glitches but it is usable.

Can you post the output? What release(s) are you seeing this with?
Thanks for your answer. This helps me to look whats wrong with my test
system. I found there is something wrong with dbus as I am missing there
a dbus-launch --autolaunch process. Then apps just say something like:
** (gedit:7655): WARNING **: Could not connect to session bus
So far I was not able to find why this happens.

Bryn.
