Dear Scott:

    Actually, I figured it out in the intervening hour. Mr. Murphy usually
allows me to ask a question publicly and then allows me to find the answer
about 5 minutes later.

    It turns out that in the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config is the innocent
little statement 'X11Forwarding   no'. It that statement is changed from no
to yes, then it is possible from a different computer to say:

ssh -X xx.xx.xx.xx

and after logging on, one can then invoke, say kwrite.

At this particular point, I am puzzling over a myriad of warnings from
kwrite about a bunch of missing icons in the /usr/share/icons sub-directory
that appears to need an 'apt-get instll kde-devel' and thats what my Debian
system is currently kerchunking on.

Charles
