Solved partially!
The machine I make ssh -X .... from is the original suse 10.2 that is
natively installed! I changed in vserver-Copy: IP-Adresse 0.9 -> 0.49, 
hostname from arthur to arthur2. But I forgot to change IP-address in
/etc/hosts  from 0.9 to 0.49. Now X-forwarding works. 

But vmplayer doesn't work: 
pc16@arthur:~> ssh -X pc19@10.0.0.49 vmplayer '/home/vmware/WinXPprof/WinXPprof.vmx'
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0: no 
version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2)
process 24613: Attempt to remove filter function 0xf6b5c410 user data 0x863f678,
but no such filter has been added D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to 
print a backtrace

It's perhaps because I installed vmplayer-1.0.9 on the host an the installation 
on vserver arthur2 is vmplayer-1.0.4! So 1.0.9-modules don't "like" 1.0.4 
installation ;-)  Unfortunately I can't install vmplayer 
on a vserver because the vmware-config.pl-script fails because modules are not 
loadable to the kernel :-(  And I don't know how to install vmplayer manually / 
without compiling modules!  (Ask in vmware / vmplayer discussion groups?)

So I have to downgrade vmplayer to 1.0.4-version and see what happens ... tomorrow!

cheers
