Looks correct, although in my case, using -immutable for the first
invocation of display causes later -remote invocations to close the
original window. So, for me, the above paragraph is true, minus the
'-immutable' option.

Yes, that wouldn't be bad...unfortunately I can't keep a browser
running for very long usually. My X server is often a thin-client
xterm, and for some reason browsers keep dying with the following
types of errors:
X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap)
Serial number of failed request: 14366
Current serial number in output stream: 14517
X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 57 (X_CopyGC)
Resource id in failed request: 0x2c0074d
Serial number of failed request: 14448
Current serial number in output stream: 14521
Maybe it's a colormap issue, but I'm clueless.
