So far I've not found where to reconfigure that though... (NOTE: Godzilla is FC2. My Gentoo box is rebuilding at this time.)

Actually in my file that is already commented out so I'm wondering if this is the right config file. It is the only one I find with slocate. Is there some other config file on FC2 that effects this sort of thing? Maybe it's somethign completely different though.

If that's true I cannot even start an app from display :0 on display :1 locally! Thanks in advance, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
