Odd. My guess is that there is a $DISPLAY issue here.
If you connect to the remote computer from an xterm (as opposed to
Terminal.app), does it work?
Can you try running 'xdpyinfo' or 'xterm' while on the remote system
rather than your radiation transport application? That will atleast
eliminate your application from the list of possible culprits (I doubt
it is the problem, but it's good to pick reduced test cases).

I have found the last few releases to be extremely stable, but 2.4.0
has introduced an annoying issue with the programs that I use.
These are custom code for radiation transport based on Geant4.
Previously, I could start and stop the transport programs, whether
running on my local Mac, or on a remote linux cluster, arbitrarily
and the program would connect with my local X11 regardless of
whether or not it was running with an icon in the dock. Now
everything works fine the first time I start the program either
locally or remotely, but subsequently it won't work if I have an X
icon already in the dock. If I quit X then everything is ok again.
It is as if somehow the server isn't being found if it's already
running.
As I said, everything worked perfectly prior to 2.4.0. I'm running
Mac OS X 1.5.8 and the programs have not been recompiled since I
installed X11 2.4.0. What could be causing this? Could it be a
regression in 2.4.0. I'm inclined to think not, since the list has
been so quiet. Surely, everyone would have seen this if it were a
real issue with the new x11.
