X-Terminal over SSH Woes

[Dazed_75]

OT for this thread, but I wanted to say to Mark that I always find my own
posts to the discussion list never seem to appear to me untill someone
replaies to them.  I have frequently questioned whether I was doing
something wrong or what.  Perhaps it is something about the email client or
perhaps it is some dubious "feature" of the list.  Wish I knew, because it
is troubling when you are not sure if your post was ever received.
