3/10    If I run to run X11 through NAT, is it better to set up raw forwarding
        of port 6000, or ssh-tunnel the connection?  I'm not using WPA or WPA2.
        \_ SSH tunnel--use -c for compression, it helps a bit.  Unless you
           have serious computer (not net) performance issues, port forwarding
           through SSH is very often a good idea out of principle.  Also, does
           X11 now let you use just 6000?  Used to use 6001..2..n as well, or
           has someone fixed that?  -John
           \_ my understanding is you can use just 6000, defaulting to 0.0,
              6001, ..., n for 0.1 ... n, if desired, but not necessary.
