Hi, Holger,

I understand what you're saying. All I know is that for some
applications, like Emacs and Arbortext Epic, it seems I have
to explicitly add the remote machine to my local X access list
for the applications to display on my local machine. Moreover,
for Epic to work, I have to explicitly set the DISPLAY variable
on the remote machine. Dunno. It works for me, but YMMV.
