That is a nice hack thanks! Though it is not really portable to all OS, and AFAIU not working if you ssh to a remote host ! It may give a potential way to work partially around that limitation. I feel like an actual push/pop solution would be better.

X being a network protocol at heart, it positively is weird. i tried that thingy on both local machine, and ssh'ed xterm to remote-machine (with X sessions correctly forwarded locally), and it all seems to work just fine for me.

edit-001 : these are linux machines at both ends, so, i dunno...

Yes, I'm on Mac OS so that's likely it, and the server I was trying had no X anyway. Thanks for investigating.
