[TriLUG] ssh and X - interesting discovery.

I loged into fatalpha using ssh in a kterm and forgot about.  later
I came back to that window and typed xterm.

an xterm window opened up on my box.

I wasn't sure that this was really happening -- ssh allowed fatalpha
access to my local xserver.  but xdpyinfo queried my local xterm.

I always thought that ssh was 'a better telnet', but it looks like
ssh goes much further.
