I did read the first one, wasn't aware of the second one. I spent several hours researching and trying to solve the problem before posting here. Also, I'm not implying it's a bug - I'm sure there's something I missed, I just can't figure out what it is. >> Basic scenario: >> startxwin.bat -> X icon appears in taskbar, terminal opens >> ssh -Y -l username box2name -> ssh connection is established and works fine >> emacs & -> [1]+ Stopped emacs >> >> Troubleshooting already done: >> I have also tried with putty, with X11 tunneling enabled, and tried >> running other apps (specifically a java swing application, which does >> not stop but simply does nothing on box 1) >> The DISPLAY environment variable was not set. >There's your problem.
