Chris, you asleep? Good. No need to disturb a good night's sleep with
some bad news.
I figured out why it didn't work for me the first time and why it did
after that. I think I'm finally up-to-speed with what these two competing
blocks of code do to create this issue. ;-) For all those wondering (does
anybody still have the strength to keep reading this thread? ;-) ), the
first time I tried it, sshd could not interact with the desktop. With
Chris's patch and this switch off, I see no extra consoles and no output
from 'ssh localhost date'. Turning on desktop interaction for sshd and
restarting the service, I see no extra consoles and I get output from
'ssh localhost date'. It's all so obvious now. ;-)
So there is still a problem (but a less than appetizing workaround).
