Sometime in May Stroller assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| It works perfectly from Xterm on my Mac.

Check the DISPLAY environment variable for xterm and Terminal.app. For me
the default for xterm is ':0.0' while this environment variable is not set
by default in Terminal.app. So, when I ssh to a computer from xterm,
everything forwards appropriately. However, things only forward properly
for me in terminal.app if I manally set the DISPLAY to ':0.0'. I just
edited my ~/.bash_profile to make sure this variable is set whenever I
launch termina.app.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
