So if I'm VPN'ing in from home, I want all of those connections to have -X specified. I already have the keys copied and an entry in ~/.config with the ip and userid so all I have to do is go: ssh wk so this is the last fly in the ointment.

If you peek into the manual page for ssh_config, you will find an option ForwardX11, which can be put in your config such as:
Host wk
Hostname W.X.Y.Z
ForwardX11 yes
And then your connections to host wk will have X11 forwarding enabled by default.

Yup. Numbskull moment for me although in the past the settings were different in /etc/ssh/sshd_config than they were in ~/.ssh/config – user447607 Jan 9 '16 at 20:53

2they still are.
ssh_configandsshd_configare different things with different options and different manual pages with description inside. – Jakuje Jan 9 '16 at 20:55 -
