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.
