SSH, X11 forwarding, and terminal multiplexers - Machine Perception

Terminal multiplexers like GNU Screen and tmux are indispensable for running remote jobs, but they don’t always play nicely with X11 forwarding (i.e. ssh -X or ssh -Y). This can result in remotely-launched GUI programs failing to display and similar difficulties. Typically, I’ll start a job in screen while at lab, go home, and reconnect remotely, only to find that X11 forwarding works correctly outside of but not inside of screen. The same happens with tmux.
