Ah, interesting.  A bit slow over my wireless.

Gets confusing for me -- like which set of .Xdefaults get used?

Also interesting -- from my laptop to one machine I can run the remote
xterm fine -- although the window is much larger.  I guess I'm not using
my normal resources.

Going the other way that command pops up a blank xterm
window that I can't seem to close.

Can you enumerate a few of those benefits?
