So what did this do, exactly? Man page shows that it turned on trusted
forwarding... Something that Tiger's X11.app, needs but my old Panther
eMac didn't?

And why did xclock work ok, but not Matlab?

Just got an answer from Adrian Umpleby that I posted to the list. There were changes to OpenSSH 3.8.1 that introduced protection for root X display access.

Presumably Matlab, by design or (historical) lack of attention is
requiring higher access privileges than Xclock doesn't. This is a relatively
recent issue, it might be worth reporting it to the software vendors/ providers
so that they get a chance adapt to this new world of secured X usage.
