With :10.0 I suspect you used ssh -X to forward your X server connection. Is that right? Starting from some version of ssh, connections forwarded like that are "untrusted" and some operations are not allowed on them. (I'm not really sure wich ones, but I remember that it prevented me from running gvim because of that). But those same versions now have an extra option -Y also, to mark the connection (or, as I understand it, the clients at the other end of the tunnel) as trustworthy. So if you use -Y instead, what you tried (whatever it was) might work better. I can surely imagine that allowing a screen locker access to your display requires more trust than just any random client. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
