That's ok for Gnome/KDE apps, but i do most of my work with Xemacs and 
xterm, so I really need to do a more generic solution. Maybe I'll join 
XFree86...

I don't know. That would mean that the client would have to know it's
been started by a session manager or from an X term on another host,
and way too much about the users prefered way of starting remote/other 
user apps.
