Oh, somehow I expected another answer.
I'm quite sure, that it should be possible to tunnel X over ssh.
And in one direction it works perfectly.

So from machine m1
  ssh -X m2 xlogo
works fine, whereas from machine m2
  ssh -X m1 xlogo
gives me 
  Error: Can't open display: 

I think, it should work. Too often I read in this list the
"xhost +" technique is considered bad. So what are my alternatives ?
What might I be missing ?

Thanx, Michael
