I don't know if you saw my last post, but I was able to get all this to work once I
understood more about the services that ssh was trying to provide. I can see now that
using ssh to connect to X-servers is the right way to do it. When I finally had it all
working, I cleaned out all the workarounds I had put in - like xhost.
Thanks for the clues!
