[ale] Running firefox remotely

[Christopher Fowler]

I ran into an interesting thing yesterday.  I guess it has to do with
Gnome. 

I loaded an old box with Ubuntu and I wanted to setup the firefox
plugins remotely. 

#1.  ssh -CX2 cfowler at 192.168.1.112 
#2.  xterm -bg black -fg white
#3.  firefox

What was strange was that I was expecting firefox to run on the remote
box and I get the display on my computer.  Instead firefox on my
computer ran instead!!

To do what I wanted to do I had to run Xnest.
