[Wylug-help] Odd X and SSH behaviour

SSH fiddles the X authority settings in ~/.Xauthority using xauth when it
builds an X connection to provide something better than host based
authentication.

If the .Xauthority file has a duff entry for a particular forwarded X
stream you may see this behaviour.
