Ok Guys,

All this X discussion has brought to mind an issue that I had put on a back
burner.  I am trying to get a remotre X session on a PC over a LAN.  I am
using ssh to initially connect.  I have X Forwarding enabled in the
sshdconfig file.  What are the other steps I need to accomplish?  the xhost
+ and export DISPLAY 0.0:?  

What would be the difference if I wanted to say have my local X session on
cntl-alt-F7 anf the remote session appear on cntl-alt-F8?  Is thios
possible?

Thanks for the help and all the great guidance in tha past.

Shawn
