Oh... I understand now. I didn;t know about the LocalClient fucntion,
but it's whole purpose is to supply info so that, for example, DGA
can do the right thing. Clearly, LocalClient needs a foolproof
way to determine if a client really is local.

Not understanding how DGA memory access works, here's a question:
If the tunneled server gives permission for direct memory access,
how does the local user get access to write into system memory
without simply getting a segfault?

Also, what happens when a client is accessing server memory, and
you switch to a different virtual terminal?

Thanks, Joe Krahn
