It is not clear what you mean by "wrapping a command." However, if you're
trying to use SSH X forwarding, you're confused. This command starts an X
server. SSH X forwarding is used to protect connections from X clients.
This command does not start any X connections to protect. Separately, the
-query argument tells it to use XDMCP, but that's a UDP protocol not
amenable to SSH forwarding anyway.
