Perhaps that is the difference. I don't float around and use different consoles. I would never enter have my SSH credentials on some machine that isn't my own,

Perhaps that is the difference. I don't float around and use different consoles. I would never enter have my SSH credentials on some machine that isn't my own, so would never get to the point of using an SSH session from a foreign keyboard, screen, and window manager. My workstation and my laptop computer are my interfaces to the world for 99.9% of my interactions. Without them, I am not working. The only exceptions might be touching a KVM console on a server in our machine room to see diagnostics (otherwise I would use SSH from my office) or a lab computer where I'd only be running local browser or demos.
