That works only half-a**ed, very poorly from the pi or not at all, and 
linuxcnc gets hung in that event with no control gui, so I either have 
to power cycle the pi, or login from another ssh -Y session to issue 
a "sudo reboot".

I think the pi doesn't like that I am running the nouveau driver on this 
machine.  When lcnc does open a gui here, its very very slow, taking 
around 15 seconds to full draw the initial screen.  But that does not 
appear to bother the other 4 machines.

A geany session has no difficulty opening its gfx window on this machine 
from any of the other 4 x86 machines or from the pi.  However, the other 
4 are running x as default, two with xfce, and two using tde since they 
have the iron and memory to do it while taking a snooze or while busy.

I did see, several times in my efforts to "startx" that x was disabled by 
being masked, whatever the heck that is.  I am used to wheezy slang, but 
this is jessie, with a 4.4.4-??rtai kernel.

Doing a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure X11-common' and leaving it at 'console 
users' only, didn't change anything that I could see.

At this point, I am a stranger in a strange (jessie on a pi-3) land.

Thanks Chris.
