E.g., this sounds like it would help to install xauth for any error even if no ssh X forwarding is involved at all. Rather state the exact use case and requirements. Something short along the lines of: HINT: If you want to forward the simulator window over SSH, you need to install the `xauth` package on the {pve} node.
