However in Manchester nothing I try to run (e.g. nedit) will connect to my
display.
I've also tried:
ssh -Y my_user_id@my_linux_box_network_name
As Jamie already noted, you need to ssh in and then echo $DISPLAY to ensure
that it's actually set. If not, make sure that the sshd on the Linux box is
configured to allow X11 connection forwarding. The configuration file in Mac
OS X is in /etc/sshd_config - the Linux box may have it somewhere else.
You should also see an auto-launch of X11 (quit it first just to verify this)
when you do the ssh -Y ... on the client side. If you don't see that,
something else is wrong.
Another thing, IIRC, if you use xhost to open your display up, ssh quits
trying to forward your display, regardless of flags passed to it, make
sure you've run xhost - to close it all down before you use ssh for X11
forwarding.
