I had to put: ForwardX11Trusted yes

An alternative is to use the command line option -Y (like -X but with trusted
xfwd). Simple stuff (like xclock) will work with -X but other things like for
example mozilla will require -Y

I did it on a per-host basis, hosts that I trusted. This seems to be a
security change made to newer versions of openSSH.
Here is a snippet of my ssh_config:
Host oldserver
ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes

I'm trying to connect a Linux remote X client to my local X server on my
PC in a local network behind a router/firewall.
The configuration is:
(remote xclient) -> (remote ssh server) -> (local router with NAT) ->
(local ssh telnet with X11 forwarding) -> (local x server)
The linux box is running ssh version 3.8.1p1-8.sarge.4 and the ssh
telnet client is VanDyke SecureCRT version 5.0.0.
My local X server is running and accepts local X clients.
I open a SSH telnet session to the remote server (X11 forwarding from
the ssh telnet client is enabled).
When I try to open a remote X client it says:
"Error: Can't open display:"
I read somewhere that the SSH server will set the DISPLAY variable for
me. How do I get that working? Is that even possible?
Thanks for help,

P.S.: I have "X11Forwarding yes" in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" set.
