I usually use "ssh -Y".  The -Y argument toggles trusted forwarding.  From
the ssh man-page:

     -Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding.  Trusted X11 forwardings are
not subjected to the X11
             SECURITY extension controls.

I've found -Y is a bit faster than -X in my experience (I've never really
had many problems with X-forwarding on LANs in my experience -- even with
OpenGL windows)
