Good point.  (BTW, dxpc, which I mentioned in another message, can be 
tunnelled over ssh, but I digress.)  ssh also Does The Right Thing (TM) with 
.Xauthority.

If you use ssh for X Windows forwarding in a low-bandwidth environment, think 
about turning on compression with -o "Compression yes" or twiddling the 
appropriate line in ssh_config.  <handwaving>It might not do quite as good a 
job as dxpc</handwaving>, but it's easier to set up for a new user.
