OK, I see I wasn't clear. For the tunnel case, I would want any changes

I was thinking the other way round. Thanks for clarifying.
Well,
when I run one on my local machine, I want any changed configs to
be stored for the local setup. When I run one remotely through an ssh
tunnel say, I want any changed configs to be stored for the remote setup.
(I think. Does that make sense?)
I don't see much point of storing a local copy of a ssh tunneled
config
file. If you are tunnelling the config file should be accessed from the
remote machine.
To my way of thinking, when I run a program on a
remote machine down an ssh -X
tunnel, I want to program to run on the far machine and the display to show
up on the local machine. At the same time, This program should behave as if
it is running on the remote machine. At the same time, I want to be able to
run the same program on the local machine. This program should behave as if
it is running on the local machine (that is, normally.) It should not matter
which program I kick off first, the local or the remote. Firefox, for one,
does not behave this way for me and I don't like the fact.
Can someone explain to me my error if I am thinking in a boneheaded way about
this issue?
Not boneheaded. The only assumption is that you should be able to run
two instances of the same app at the same time on the same machine
within the same x session. There are lots of apps that don't allow this.
Instead they allow for multiple windows but they are all running of the
same instance.
In this case qjackctl appears to do neither unless you set the correct
settings in the env var or the just added commandline switch. Although
according to Fons this behaviour is new and in the past it was not
necessary to do either.
I guess that firefox doesn't let you start an instance over the tunnel
and then open a window on the local desktop too?
Cheers.
