Follow-up Comment #12, bug #25534 (project gnustep): I've here my notebook and the desktop, both i386, and just retested again.
* I ssh from desktop to the notebook * throw away all my defaults, rm -rf ~/GNUstep * start Gorm, that works well then via ssh and also works well locally then test the other way around: * I ssh from notebook to desktop * throw away all my defaults, rm -rf ~/GNUstep * start Gorm, and it does not work via ssh, but works well when using it locally problem: * The main menu is not usable, nothing happens on clicks * right click in a window, then the context main menu appears a) not below the mouse, but on the left border of the screen, and is also not usable * pulldown menus seem to have the same problems, * buttons, and switching between pallets works setup on the notebook and desktop are the same: openbsd 4.4, i386 gnustep-make-2.0.8 gnustep-base-1.18.0p0 gnustep-back-0.16.0 (using xlib) gnustep-gui-0.16.0 gnustep-gorm-1.2.8 libffi-3.0.8 on the desktop, there is a ati-radeon driver used, on the notebook intel. display resolution on the notebook: 1280x768 display resolution on the desktop: 1920x1200 on both sides, in sshd_config, X11 forwarding is configured like this: X11Forwarding yes X11DisplayOffset 10 X11UseLocalhost yes Then I tried an xhost + on the notebook again logged into the desktiop from the notebook and change the DISPLAY variable to <notebookIP>:0.0 and started Gorm, and it started and was behaving well. however, when I logout, and login again, without changing the DISPLAY variable, then start Gorm, it doesn't behave correctly anymore. below the log output when starting it, and clicking on the main menu once: Xlib: extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display "localhost:10.0". 2009-02-21 12:02:11.519 Gorm[20078] X-Windows error - BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on display: localhost:10.0 type: 0 serial number: 4478 request code: 38 2009-02-21 12:02:11.521 Gorm[20078] X-Windows error - BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on display: localhost:10.0 type: 0 serial number: 4479 request code: 3 2009-02-21 12:02:11.743 Gorm[20078] X-Windows error - BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on display: localhost:10.0 type: 0 serial number: 5816 request code: 3 2009-02-21 12:02:11.743 Gorm[20078] Ignore left offset change from 1 to 1146961920 2009-02-21 12:02:11.743 Gorm[20078] Ignore right offset change from 1 to -2015019264 2009-02-21 12:02:11.743 Gorm[20078] Ignore top offset change from 25 to 1146961920 2009-02-21 12:02:11.743 Gorm[20078] Ignore bottom offset change from 9 to -2010006016 2009-02-21 12:02:11.743 Gorm[20078] Reparent was with offset 0 24 2009-02-21 12:02:11.743 Gorm[20078] Parent border,width,height 1146961920,1132986368,1137999872 2009-02-21 12:02:11.752 Gorm[20078] X-Windows error - BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on display: localhost:10.0 type: 0 serial number: 5837 request code: 3 2009-02-21 12:02:11.752 Gorm[20078] Ignore left offset change from 1 to 1146961920 2009-02-21 12:02:11.753 Gorm[20078] Ignore right offset change from 1 to -2015019264 2009-02-21 12:02:11.753 Gorm[20078] Ignore top offset change from 25 to 1146961920 2009-02-21 12:02:11.753 Gorm[20078] Ignore bottom offset change from 9 to -2015215872 2009-02-21 12:02:11.753 Gorm[20078] Reparent was with offset 0 24 2009-02-21 12:02:11.753 Gorm[20078] Parent border,width,height 1146961920,1132986368,1132789760 2009-02-21 12:02:12.961 Gorm[20078] X-Windows error - BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on display: localhost:10.0 type: 0 serial number: 6339 request code: 38 2009-02-21 12:02:12.962 Gorm[20078] X-Windows error - BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on display: localhost:10.0 type: 0 serial number: 6340 request code: 3 _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?25534> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list Bug-gnustep@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
