[ale] Remote X and Mozilla Profile Behavior

[Dow Hurst]

After contemplating my answer I want to retract it.  I invoke ALEMER, 
ALE MEmory Reversal, on all ALE members who read my email.

Honestly, I haven't a clue to the answer to the Mozilla problem!!!! ;-)

PS.  ALzhEimer MEmory Reversal wouldn't work properly because those who 
had already forgotten the email would then remember it.
