Are you sure? I don't run any local X11 applications, but on Leopard,
with X11 off, I do 'ssh -Y mylinuxserver' (which graphically prompts
me for my SSH key passphrase -- whoa!) and then I run a program that
requires X, and X11 automagically pops up in my dock and the program
works.
That's awesome! I can take the DISPLAY=... trickery out of my
.profile and I no longer have to train coworkers about the DISPLAY
variable! I just checked, and without my DISPLAY junk in my .profile,
it's set to /tmp/launch-zk0BPF/:0
