If it matters, this machine actually starts 2 different X servers, [the]
default on, and one on a [different] tty that is used as an
[environment] for a VirtulBox session, so whatever I do
should probably be global to all X sessions.

Could still control the from the ssh relieving the need for one of the
X-sessions.  But the Vbox would still need one.
