I start up cygwin/x and it immediately displays the xdm login from the slackware system. The only thing I can do then is log into to my linux system. Do I then need to run a *local* cygwin window on my win2k system and run 'xwinclip'? In that case what will running 'xhost 127.0.0.1' on the remote system do? (I know what xhost does, I just don't see what it has to do with running xwinclip). Or have I got hold of completely the wrong end of the stick? -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
