Yeah, ssh's management of the X authorization tokens and managing the display stuff was one of the killer features of ssh over things like kerberized telnet or rsh. Another really nice feature of it was that it didn't have any of the idiotic user count enforcement nonsense that was default on a "workstation" licensed ultrix system, where you couldn't have more than 2 people logged into the system without the more expensive license. Compression's nice - especially for X, and X over ISDN.
