Strange X11 error messages when running through ssh

I'm using Geopsy or other graphical tools on a remote server through a ssh connection. I often get strange X11 error messages like:
To avoid these messages and to get a nicer graphical user interface, you must disable the X11 security extension controls on your local X11 server. This is possible with option '-Y' rather than simply '-X' (see ssh man page for details). You can enable this behaviour by default if you add the 'ForwardX11Trusted yes' to your /etc/ssh/ssh_config (see ssh_config man page for details). More information can be obtained from http://openssh.com/faq.html#3.13.
