huh...I am logging into the remote machine with "ssh -X" (actually
with '-Y' in this case because its a mac), then I execute the program
ie. `./test.py' Under Tkinter, this would send the app to display on
the ssh client. Under wxPython it opens it on the ssh server.
Maybe I am missing something obvious, but if I run 'xcalc' from the
same shell, the app opens where I expect it...ssh forwarding seems to
be working.
