Although the connexion way (local vs remote), it is the same X server,
and thus the same capabilities. In the second case it's going through
the ssh tunnel but that's still showing up on the same X server.

Just to be more convincing

$ ooimpress
crash
$ ssh other@localhost
other$ export DISPLAY=:0
other$ xauth add localhost/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 foofoofoofoo
other$ ooimpress
doesn't crash

The way to connect to the server is now exactly the same, and thus
shared memory and such are just the same.
