Let me step back a moment. After doing some reading while I was
looking up your answers it seems that with a client capable of doing
X11 Forwarding you don't need to use the export command. Since I
wrote these scripts some time ago, X11 Forwarding was not available
in putty. So I may have been inadverdently pushing my Xsessions into
the clear. Since I never used X over the public networks it's not a
big deal. I guess it's time to go back and edit my scripts.
