[ale] xsession

[Matt Shade]

Okay, once again, Keith shot me down (I'll get him!...you say you need a
place to crash?  hehe)..... forget what I said about xhost. I ALWAYS get the
server and client backwards....but I move around from so many different
machines, it's no wonder.
There's an XHOSTS file on the windows machine that handles access to r/x,
but it's wide open. Another user on your network could potentially open x
windows on your win box. Fat chance, but hey, stranger things have happened.

winbloze/rX, but only on a Unix/Linux workstation.
