It's basically tunneling X through an ssh tunnel. So if you had say a machine on your desk at work running a Unix/Linux based OS w/ X on it and you were using Mozilla to read your mail.. you could do this.
1. ssh -X <user>@<machine>.<domain> 2. In that Window type mozilla 3. ssh takes care of exporting the display through the ssh tunnel you've established and it should appear on your desk at home.
It's actually running on the machine in the office but it uses libs and other files to display it to your local Xserver.

Interesting. Thanks. I cannot right-click|AdvEdit a file. And now kfmclient will not launch at all. Must be zombies. This is some kind of issue with acting as root, while logged in as a user. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE80wMfnQ18+PFcZJsRAkbyAJ9fXl2NyrVyzwmOkqWMAbYv38YNZgCfd0sl 29gzBM1jlytecUCEmEylTPU= =ldV8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
