ouch, I know what was happening...you helped!
ssh servera -> ssh -X serverb ->xeyes (no DISPLAY)
ssh -X servera -> ssh -X serverb -> xeyes (Works!)
been to tired fixing broken installs to fc17. I got 2 system upgraded
using dvd upgrade, got 2 system screwed up and need to fresh install,
one just died at the end on "script error occured installing emacs
package". Been the worse upgrade season in 7 years of fedora! Not to
get on anyone's bad side, fedora has been great, but the change rate
is a bit over the top if it bust installs.

The system SSHing to the other has to enable display forwarding:
ssh -X [remote host]
