My 'ssh -Y' originated from an NX session on a different machine
(freenx on a CentOS 5.x, target of the ssh was a 6.x if that matters).
And it killed (not just a disconnect) the freenx session.
The scenario is NX-->freenx in a remote office, then 'ssh -Y' to other
machines in the same remote office to get the efficiency of the NX
protocol without having to open sessions to a lot of machines. xeyes
was just a quick test to see if the remote display was working. It
doesn't matter that it doesn't work, but maybe there is a larger
problem.
