Notice how Kenny ignores his error as well.

Todd and Kenny - please explain why I can on a remote machine type
xterm &
xterm &
xterm &

(or gterm, whatever) and create three NEW X11 applications on the
Display server. Do you serious claim the workstation INITIATED the
X11 programs?

I've made no "errors" in this thread. But your use of that term
demonstrates that you have no clue about what the adults in this thread
are discussing. Hint: It has nothing to do with whether or not you can
type "xterm &" (or whatever) on a keyboard.

That doesn't change the fact that you are incapable of understanding
what an X server is and resort to name calling even though you're
in the wrong.

Somebody needs to get back on their meds (or take a reading
comprehension class).

As I said, I am not wrong, nor is there anything I don't understand.

Please find and read my post about "the game of pretending that if you
don't like something, it must be because you don't understand it".

In this instance the workstation didn't initiate the X11 programs. But
in this case (below) the workstation initiates a connection to the
remote machine and starts xterm, which in turn uses the display server
(your workstation) to render the terminal window for your delight:

ssh -fX some.remote.machine xterm
