In my experience I always have to specify $ssh -X csmachine to run X apps when I ssh from home, which isn't that bad since I have campus network. > P.p.s. - While I'm already going on the long ps stuff... wouldn't it > be nice if the CS lab admins could provide a way to automagically > 'setup' a home computer to be 'just like' the lab machines... :-) The problem with this is that the cs machines have so much <stuff> on them. They have all of gnome, all of kde, and all of several, smaller, window managers. So from a disk space standpoint, all of that would be a bit more than most people would want, especially if they were dual-booting. It's not too hard to get all of the gnome stuff or all of the kde stuff that is on the cs machines by using synaptic, where you can mark applications for install by searching for gtk*. (or qt* in the case of kde, you can tell I prefer gnome, eh?). Then if you want, you can install apps from one to the other by installing the base libraries of the 'other' desktop.
