The X server used is the one controlling the display where the windows appear. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System Many people get confused by the terms "server" and "client" as used in X11. But it really is very simple. The display and input devices like keyboard and mouse are managed by the X server, which runs on the very machine that the display and input devices are attached to (ignoring stuff like xnest or Sun Ray -style lightweight framebuffer terminals for now). X clients (applications) like xterm, testgtk or GIMP can run on any machine in the net. Running them on the same machine where the X server runs is just a special (albeit very common) case. Even the window manager is just another X client, not even it has to run on the same machine as the X server. This is all very mature technology, from the 80s. The main idea behind X11 is that it is a network protocol, it's sad if this is being forgotten... --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
