here's a neat X trick a smart person recently taught me for borrowing an x
session from somewhere else and putting it on a second display on your own
machine:
setenv DISPLAY :1 for csh,tcsh,zcsh or export DISPLAY=:1 for bash/ksh
then
X -query machine.you're.borrowing.from :1
then as someone mentioned earlier, you can flip back and forth between the
2 displays with cntrl-f?. I use f6, f7, and f8 cuz that's how it came.
