define geometry@1152x768 596x738+64+2
define geometry@1152x900 764x1091+237+0
define geometry@1280x1024 660x765+251+120
define geometry@1280x854 596x748+112+64

That geometry specifier is a substring. Beats me how it could isolate  
that.

Anyway, the solution is to use "ssh -X -Y" as someone else suggested  
to me.
