Another doh situation, but it doesn't change everything.

I managed to mistype the url when attempting to connect from the Ubuntu 
machine to the Slackware machine. When I redid it with the right address 
I got an error message telling me that the host key verification failed. 
It also tole me how to fix it by running ssh-keygen, which I did. Then I 
logged into the Slackware machine from the Ubuntu machine with ssh -Y 
and tried to run thunar and got the reply:

rsteff at ENU-2:~$ thunar
Thunar: cannot open display:
rsteff at ENU-2:~$
