This is not a strictly laptop problem, but I see it on a laptop :-) It happens at least on Libranet 2.8, and I seem to recall seeing it happen on other Debians.
I "ssh -XC <ip>", then "firefox" or "firefox&". Sure enough, I get Firefox on my local display. But, it gives every indication that it is a local Firefox, not Firefox on the remote box; the URL "file:///" shows the local filesystem. Other X apps run through the ssh ARE on the remote box. What the heck is going on here? And how to I fix it? -- Willie, ONWARD!
