#206: Define behavior around zwgc and remote X11 sessions------------------------+---------------------------------------------------

Comment(by jdreed):
I propose the following solution, which keeps the default Athena behavior
but provides customizability.
The system dotfiles check for the presence of a zephyr variable
(tentatively named "remotex11"). If `zctl show remotex11 | awk '{print
$2}'` returns 'false' and $DISPLAY is set, then don't run zwgc.
Otherwise, do.
Users who find zwgc intrusive can run a one-time command of "zctl set
remotex11 false". Since we also check for $DISPLAY being set, users who
have remotex11=false and fallback=true will get a ttymode zwgc in regular
ssh sessions, as they would expect.
