Hey everyone,
I enabled X11Forward in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the machine I'm connecting to, and I'm using the command ssh -X -C hostname on the computer I'm using to connect to it. I can get in, and I can run simple X apps and have them forwarded just fine (for example, xclock, kcalc, etc.), but a lot of applications fail due to a "BadWindow" error. Here's the error I get from trying to run Gaim for an example:
The program 'gaim' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 199 error_code 3 request_code 2 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Any idea what my problem may be? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
