You probably can't get dxsession to run on your X terminal because dxsession
tries to set your host access list.  For X terminals, this generates an
X error because dxsession isn't running on your "local" machine.  I presume
that the NCD16 has it's own method of setting security.

Once you get UWS 2.2, you can put "sm.security: False" in your .Xdefaults
and dxsession won't do this.  I don't believe there's a way to make the
UWS 2.1 version of dxsession work.
