Fair enough, the remote xterm is not covered, but molly-guard
promises to guard SSH sessions, and remote xterms technically
aren't SSH sessions.

That's not to say that I would not be happy to implement your

determine whether I'm local or remote? In fact, if you could send
a patch or some mockup code, I'd appreciate it.
