Oh, yes, that's right. I get used to being on a trusted network, but
that's a great point.

Actually, ssh-X it is now working properly. I don't know what I was
doing wrong, but it now works. I can say that DISPLAY gets set on the
remote host if I use ssh -X. However, I definitely prefer my
jiggery-pokery, which is known as "xauth." :-) It's faster than -X
by
far. This was just a test to see if ssh -X works for me.
The difference being that with ssh -X, all of your X traffic is
encrypted. By connecting directly and using xauth, someone snooping
the
network could observe everything you do in the X connection, including
watching keypresses when you type passwords.
