I ran into an interesting thing yesterday. I guess it has to do with
Gnome.
I loaded an old box with Ubuntu and I wanted to setup the firefox
plugins remotely.
#1. ssh -CX2 cfowler at 192.168.1.112
#2. xterm -bg black -fg white
#3. firefox
What was strange was that I was expecting firefox to run on the remote
box and I get the display on my computer. Instead firefox on my
computer ran instead!!
To do what I wanted to do I had to run Xnest.
