Bug#100737: xrsh -- start XWindow applications on remote machines



Package: wnpp
Severity: RFP

Hi folks,

It would be very nice if somebody could add a package for xrsh to
Debian. 


Xrsh can be used to start XWindow applications on remote machines.
The most important advantages over xon are: 

	xrsh is more clever in setting $DISPLAY 
	'xrsh -debug' works
	better support of X authorization

The home page for xrsh is http://jjd.com/ . Copyright information
(grabbed directly from the package):
