Default X forwarding

Hi!

I am running FC2. I have a Win XP box and I want to connect to my linux
machine via ssh. I am using the F-Secure client on windows. I can connect,
but I can not start programs with GUI. In my windows client I have checked
the "Tunnel X11 connections" box.

When I type "emacs &", I get

Connection lost to X server `localhost:11.0'

I guess I have to set up something on the linux machine, but what? I have
"ForwardX11 yes" at the end of /etc/ssh/ssh_config, and "X11Forwarding
yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

My /etc/hosts says only:

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

What else is there to do to enable X forwarding?

Thanks,
Catalin
