[nflug] ssh to rdesktop

[Darin Perusich]

you can do this, you just need to insure that x11 forwarding is on.

relevant ssh_config values...
 Host *
    ForwardX11Trusted yes
    ForwardAgent yes
    ForwardX11 yes

relevant sshd_config values...
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
#X11UseLocalhost yes

add these and reload sshd, kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`

once you've done this login with another ssh session and $DISPLAY should
be set, check with echo $DISPLAY
