Hi all,
As a follow up, I wanted to let you know that Duncan's suggestion worked and
I am now able to bring up both xclock and the Oracle Installer. I was
unable to ssh directly into the oracle account for security reasons, which
is why I was performing the switch user. Therefore, it seems like my
problem was a security issue related to X authentication
Thanks for all your help

Mike,
there are a couple of extra steps ...
ssh -X sunhost
# get a list of X auth info
$> xauth list
sunhost/unix:11 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 70f1a1a3f444272ae0fa5b388b0b3f49
sunhost/unix:10 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 1827878ae62fd34205dfef870c85bf6b
# check your display and extract the matching auth
$> echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0
$> xauth nextract - sunhost/unix:10
0100 000c 6c6e6c3930642d3030303261 0002 3130 0012 4d495 ...
# switch user to Oracle and set your display
ora> export DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
# add the auth info
ora> xauth nmerge - <CR>
# paste the long key from the nextract above and hit return (twice)
ora> xclock
# Success ! (hopefully).
Cheers,
Duncan.
