Description Vincent Untz 2009-08-06 12:37:08 UTC
Forwarding https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485436

When a SSH folder is opened in a terminal in Nautilus, it would be useful the
terminal were opened with the "-Y" option, so that apps with a gui launched on
the remote machine could show up without requiring the user to open another
terminal and specify the -Y option in a manually typed SSH command.
Comment 1 Christian Neumair 2009-08-09 12:26:18 UTC
Users who want to use -Y for ssh should add the following entry to ~/.ssh/config:


Host <myhost>
    ForwardX11 yes
    ForwardX11Trusted yes

<myhost> can also be *, in which case the setting apply for all hosts.

Resolving as NOTGNOME.

Forwarding reply from the reporter:

==============
Well, the suggested solution seems a bit too drastic to me. In this way you
affect _all_ SSH connections, which might not be what you want.

Making GNOME use the -Y option, on the other side, would make more sense
because you are using a graphical interface so you would expect X to be
forwarded as well for consistency.
==============
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2009-08-10 08:50:50 UTC
When appending "-Y" by default, those who explicitly do not want an X connection have to disable it through ~/.shh/config. Anyway, it would be rather unexpected for experienced users that we mess around with ssh config lines without advertizing. I think we should stay constistent with the command line ssh invocation wherever possible with the exception of ports explicitly specified in GVFS URIs.

I'm leaving this report closed. Thanks for reporting back, though.
