Hi Matt,
MI/X will have problems with various X widgets (I forget which ones right
now - menus/listboxes I think) so I would recommend running a VNC server on
you Linux box and connect to it from a VNC viewer on the win32 machine (then
you don't have to worry so much about the MI/X fonts etc). I have such a
setup here at work with a mighty Pentium 90 running MDK6.1 using
Enlightenment over VNC to a PII 450 running Win98 (the P90 is doing most of
the work here and copes OK).
Michael.
