I use icewm 1.3.8, now feel stuck in a rut because I want to also try jwm, 
ratpoison and i3, and upgrade where possible to icewm 1.4.x .

I see also the suggestion 

 $ ssh -Y <server>

but what would be the syntax for specifying <server> where <server> is a 
different computer on the same local network?
