Dumb question - have you compared /etc/ssh/ssh.conf on your laptop
to the same file on machines that do not give you trouble? It sounds
like an xauth problem on the laptop...
# If this option is set to yes then remote X11 clients will have
full access

the untrusted
# mode correctly we set this to yes.
ForwardX11Trusted yes
