I realized, after the fact, that this was an excellent opportunity to
promote ssh. Ssh automatically forwards X11 connections over the secure
channel it sets up, and it takes care of xhost-like authorization
automatically. So you could simply ssh to your own machine and run an X
application, and it'd display itself (by default) on the Zoo machine
you're sitting it. In other words, it does exactly what you'd want by
default (and you get the added benefit that everything's secure).
