Try it with two random non-Xen hosts. The same thing happens.
1. Run firefox on the local host.
2. Run "ssh -X remote.host firefox"
3. Notice a new window. Notice that it is a new window belonging
to the *local* firefox. (You can tell by things like bookmarks/
start page/whatever.)

This is not a Xen-specific problem, but an issue with firefox which
suprises people often. Mozilla behaves the same way.
Testing this is easy if you have two hosts with firefox/mozilla
installed.
