it would not make a difference, would it? do you see any benefits? ssh -X can forward windows to my gui and it just works.

The overhead is certainly less.

I haven't felt the need to run a graphical application as a different user in a long time, but presumably you could forward the right environment variables and have it work including HW acceleration (which ssh X forwarding certainly doesn't support)

ok, good point. i didn't consider that. it hasn't been a problem so far. probably my laptop is fast enough. but i'll keep that in mind. thanks
