Are you using ssh -X or ssh -Y. I used to get that message with -X. Try -Y

You know, I've been trying to figure this out as well.  I'd like to
have an updated version of
X11 for OS X, however I'm not finding any updates.  It appears that
we're stuck with the
shipping version w/o recent updates?

If someone does know anything, please advise.

X11 on Mac OS X is based on X.org release 6.6 and XFree86 release 4.4.0.


The current X.org release is 6.9 / 7.0 and XFree86 is 4.5.0, so I'm
actually waiting
for the Apple update.

Anyway, you could always compile everything from the source, as
distributed by Apple:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.5.ppc/

I just did that instead of finding binary distributions.  Compilation
went smoothly:

tar xzvf X11-0.40.2.tar.gz
cd X11-0.40.2/xc
make World
sudo make install

I actually did this before compilation:

cd X11-0.40.2/xc/config/cf
cp darwin.cf site.cf
cd ../..

but the root README doesn't mention you have to do this.

Now I finally have X11 on my Powerbook! :)

The installation as you described went smoothly, but I still get the
same (fatal) errors I get with Apple's stock X11 when I ssh into my
Gentoo linux server and run emacs and then click around in emacs'
window:
"X protocol error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on protocol request 38"


:-(
