When running X request thru a ssh tunnel LocalClient() returns
true as the sshd connects to the Xserver from the same machine.
This leads to unpredictable results and even system crashes
if an application that can only run locally is started on a remote
system.
If for example an application wants to address the framebuffer
directly thru DGA it will try to map the framebuffer on the machine
it is started on not the one where the Xserver lives on.
Even though this requires root privileges I do consider this to
be a problem that should be adressed.
Any ideas?
Egbert.
