Yes, I supopose xauth is the problem (or part of the problem) when forwarding via ssh. But there is also something other fishy here. In direct mode (export DISPLAY=mypc:0) I tried leafpad and it crashed with some strange X error BadWindow. When googled for it it suggested to use ssh -Y instead of -X with gtk based apps (I didn't use any of them in direct mode). I suppose the problem can be in gtk 2.6 on n770 or something deeper or in Xming on PC (unlikely). Unfortunately I don't have any pure X client on N770 (like xcalc,xterm). Maybe scummvm based on SDL is pure X but it doesn't work either (just hangs, looks like working, but no window displayed on PC or N770).

As for xhost, it is executable command in cygwin and linux, in Xming there is some checkbox 'No acces control' which is same as 'xhost +'. But with xhost you can specify list of servers alowed.
