Maybe /etc/ssh/ssh_config on the one machine or /etc/ssh/sshd_config on
the other doesn't allow X11Forwarding?  (Not sure the file names are the
same for SuSE.)  That sometimes happens to me in Debian after I've done
a fresh install on one of the machines, or allowed apt to replace the
current ssh config files (which have the correct but less secure option)
with the default config files (which have the incorrect but more secure
option).
