I like to monitor the ssh-portforwading connection (sometimes
disconnect/reconnect). Hence - I allocate this xterm for it.

Ideally it would be an applet in some corner (similar to rhn applet)
with green/orange/red for - active/hung(waiting for tcp
timeout)/disconnected states - and a couple of mouse bindings for the
operations connect/disconnect/reconnect.

However a simple alternative is to just run it in the background and
monitor it by other means..
