The normal behavior is for vglrun to parse the value of the SSHCLIENT
environment variable, which should contain the IP address of ME in your case,
and set VGL_CLIENT from this. However, specifying vglrun -cl will override this
behavior. I think you may be misdiagnosing the issue. I suspect that VGL_CLIENT
is being set properly when you specify vglrun -cl, but since vglclient and your
X server are running on a different machine from your ssh client machine, you
have to explicitly set both DISPLAY and VGL_CLIENT to point to that machine in
order for VGL to work properly.
