Jay,

I assume you want X forwarding when you're running X.  If not, just
turning it off might do the trick.

Does OpenSSH work if you don't run X but set DISPLAY in your system
control panel?
Does OpenSSH have a -v flag or a verbose option?  If so, it might help.
If not, does cygwin's 'ssh -X' work (with and without DISPLAY set)?
If you can reproduce the problem with cygwin's ssh, use the -v option for
some additional debug info.

The following might also be an instructive read:
