sshd listens on x11 forwarding ports of all interfaces, not just those
specifed by ListenAddress. eg:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
	ListenAddress 192.168.1.1
	X11Forwarding yes

# netstat -tlnp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

tcp        0      0 192.168.1.1:22          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      877/sshd

oops, subject of bugreport should have been "sshd ignores ListenAddress for
X11Forwarding", not "ListAddress".

Are you sure that ssh really ignores this setting? I see here two
different sshd process. One with pid 877 which is listening on port 22
and host 192.168.1.1 and one with pid 880 that is listening on port 6010
and all interfaces. So, do you have also some configuration that makes
ssh listen on port 6010?

This one has been downgraded to wishlist, since Listen-Address defines
the address and port that ssh is listening on. It does not define any
Address or Port for X11-Forwarding.
