I looked there and did not find it. I also did open apple find command and did not find a file such that its name contains "X11". (Actually, I did not try this on the SMF lab machines. Instead I am trying this on an I Book. My brother gave me his used I Book.) > Mac OSX 10.3 ships with it, but I cannot remember if it > is installed by default.

GIven other deadlines I can't afford to get stuck in some random rabbit hole (my intuitive sense is that rabbit holes are abundant when one downloads stuff from the net). > > Not setting DISPLAY locally before SSH'ing.

Since I haven't found X11 I suspect that the above does not apply.
