Description Hubert Figuiere (:hub) 2004-07-21 22:46:51 UTC 
On computer A run epiphany. Make sure it is the default browser in GNOME
On computer B, ssh to computer A with X11 forward. Start some Gnome app, say
Evolution. In Evolution click on a http: link to start the Gnome browser. In
fact just starting 'epiphany' will do the trick.

Epiphany will open the link on the screen of computer A because Epiphany is
already running.

Epiphany should check DISPLAY env before attempting to be too smart with what to
open.
