AFAIK.
Anyway, I've always wanted to know how the hell
that worked. What's the processes DISPLAY variable.
I suppose it couldnt' be the target display (your
machine) because that would defeat the purpose (a
sniffer could see the plain X packets.
Does it point to some kinda X Server proxy thingy
on the server which pumps it through the ssh session
and then the ssh client forwards it the the target
display?
