Most likely you're starting XWin in multiwindow mode where every window from X11 is mapped to a Windows window. If you replace the -multiwindow with -nodecoration then you get a single window for the whole remote session. Or you could create a link which directly starts openoffice without the KDE desktop ssh -Yf 192.168.1.13 soffice BTW: you should use ssh -Y instead of ssh -X because -X does only enable untrusted X11 connections where some features are not working. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
