what's in your ~/.xinitrc ?
you may be running twm or the like.

I cant seem to make any window manager work over ssh, but they all work locally. I am using Xorg now, and i didn't have this problem with XFree86.

I start X with just xterm for testing:

startx /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm

and then type

ssh -CXf my.home.machine twm

in the xterm and it tells me it cant find any unmanaged screens.

Ive no idea whats doing wrong because other X apps work over ssh and window managers work locally.

Any help much appreciated.
