Figured it out. I was trying to set the MTU size via the iptables
to 1200. I had previously tried setting INTERNAL_IP4_MTU to 1412 in
the vpnc-script as per a <a
href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=693235">redhat
bug report</a>, but that did not fix it. However, setting the
value to 1200 resolves the issue. I will now try values increasing
between 1200 and 1400 and see where it stops failing. Perhaps one
of the updated packages is eating up more packet space than it used
to.<br>

I have been working on this all weekend and it appears something
in F15 has broken the ability to open an X11 app over ssh/vpnc.
It works over ssh to another server on the local network, but it
fails when attempting to ssh over a vpnc connection to work. This
worked fine on F14. Just to double check I installed vpnc on an
old F11 VM running on an F14 host, vpn'ed to work, opened an ssh
connection to a server, and was able to open gedit. The failing
behaviour is that the gedit window does not open and the verbose
mode of ssh ends with the line "confirm x11" before terminal
window becomes unresponsive.<br>

Putting SELinux in permissive mode does not fix it. Setting the
segment size to 1200 (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://fixunix.com/x/19398-ssh-x11forwarding-wont-work-please-help.html">one
recommendation</a>) does not fix it. I installed putty and it
displayed similar behaviour. The only difference was that hitting
return repeatedly after the command resulted a couple of command
prompts before it froze. I don't know whether it is the Gnome3, a
bug introduced in F15 or vpnc or some other package. If someone
has any additional suggestions I would be grateful. Thank you.<br>
