IPV6 required for X11 Forwarding with SSH? Can this be fixed?

$

I ran into this years ago, and completely forgot the "solution". I use `ssh -X root@localhost' so that I can run X apps from a root authenticated xterm. I've been doing so for years. I just did a new install of openSuse 13.1 and got the error message:

Code:

X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0
when I sshed to root.

It makes perfect sense to disable IPV6 on a network where it is not used. Unfortunately, the only way I know to get `ssh -X' to work is to enable IPV6. Is there a way to make ssh to work without enabling the unnecessary IPV6?

This issue cost me a lot of time, again.
