Looks correct, although in my case, using -immutable for the first invocation of display causes later -remote invocations to close the original window. So, for me, the above paragraph is true, minus the '-immutable' option. > (For the OP - had you considered loading the image in > Mozilla/Galeon/Opera/Phoenix... and setting an autoreload on it, either > via the tab/window preferences or using mozilla-remote?) Yes, that wouldn't be bad...unfortunately I can't keep a browser running for very long usually. My X server is often a thin-client xterm, and for some reason browsers keep dying with the following types of errors: X Error of failed request: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 53 (X_CreatePixmap) Serial number of failed request: 14366 Current serial number in output stream: 14517 X Error of failed request: BadGC (invalid GC parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 57 (X_CopyGC) Resource id in failed request: 0x2c0074d Serial number of failed request: 14448 Current serial number in output stream: 14521 Maybe it's a colormap issue, but I'm clueless. -- Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
