It is.

Not really, its getting closer to what I wanted to do when I started 
this thread. What I wanted to do was bypass the ssh's encrypt/decrypt 
time killers.

But another network savvy fellow on the emc list says I should get the 
display by running this on the pi:

xauth extract - $DISPLAY|ssh <pi-usr>@<raspi-ip> xauth merge -

which does not update the $DISPLAY var on the pi, it remains at at localhost:10
This was the actual command line:

gene at raspberrypi:~ $ xauth extract - $DISPLAY|ssh gene at 192.168.71.9 xauth merge -
gene at 192.168.71.9's password: 
gene at raspberrypi:~ $ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

This lack of apparent effect is possibly an artifact of my being logged 
into both SBC from a 3rd (this machine) source.

Thank you Peter. Got to get more sleep tonight.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
