OK, I found darkside, and got the following interaction:

 wand at alnilam: ~> ssh darkside

Now, how do I jigger my X server on alnilam so that it will display
stuff from darkside (and/or how do I tell darkside to display on
alnilam)?  

I do this just rarely enough that I forget how to do it from one time
to the next.
