Hi Peter,

It may be that an update on the Debian machine has reverted some remote
X login feature back to its "default"... ie off.

It might be worth sshing into the Debian box and running the X login
config tool (gdmsetup?).  Don't forget to use the -X switch on ssh so
you can run GUI apps from the remote machine on the local one.

Good luck.
Grant.
