Trying to figure out how to determine the source of an incoming XWindows
application, remoted to my local desktop.

Suppose I am on computer1 and someone on computer2 sets their
DISPLAY=computer1:0.0
When computer2 launches xlogo, it will pop-up in computer1.

I realize as root I can tcpdump the port, but how would I determine the
source of the application if I'm not root?

thx.

Terence
