Thank you, but I have already tried that, and according to the FAQ there should be no problem with my config, but clearly this is not the case:
[17:16] ~ > echo $DISPLAY
/tmp/launch-GptT4D/org.x:0
[17:16] ~ > grep DISPLAY ~/.*rc ~/.login ~/.*profile ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist 2>/dev/null
[17:16] ~ > grep -r DISPLAY /opt/local/etc /sw/etc /etc 2>/dev/null
[17:16] ~ > ssh -Y **************

Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
[17:17] ~ > echo $DISPLAY
localhost:23.0
[17:17] ~ > grep X11 /etc/ssh/sshd_config ~/.ssh/*
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11Forwarding yes
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:X11DisplayOffset 10

To investigate the problem I have created a new user on my local machine (under Mac OS X 10.6.7), and it appears that the problem doesn't occur with this new user. It makes me suspect it might be a permissions problem, but I am not sure which are the files involved, and I can't find any log from X11 which could help locate the problem. The thing is that X11 does not crash or complain of anything: if I open another connection, everything works fine... for a few minutes. Does someone have any idea where that could come from?
