[expert] remote xwindow : help needed
hi, I've discovered a seldom behavior with remote xwin. Have a little homenetwork with 4 PC's. 3 PC's are allowed via ssh and xhost to communicate directly, so I can start an application from PC 1 on PC 2 or 3. So far so good. But now I makes an ssh to the remote-box, and was calling kfmclient folder file:$HOME the remote kfmclient appears, but also appearing is the remote kde-desktop overlaying my existing kde-desktop. Hmm, is anybody in this list, who could explain or show me, how I can prevent such an overlaying behavior ? Was doing that for sysadminjobs like : looking for double-directory-entries on my complete system. For example comparing the doc-directory, info-directory and much more. With the results I can make one doc (info, man)-server and so on. Or is there available a better tool for such jobs anywhere ? Thanks for your help. It's really welcome. bye Hans Schneidhofer
Re: [expert] remote xwindow : help needed
i don't know if this helps at all, but i have a similar problem, and the cause might be the same. if i su to root, and then start kfm as root, then i get the root's kde desktop on top of my desktop. not sure how to prevent this, but i assume it is a bug in kfm. this problem seems only related to kde running on a local host. you might want to post to the kde list, or check their archives. j On Wed, 26 Apr 2000, Hans Schneidhofer wrote: hi, I've discovered a seldom behavior with remote xwin.

KFM is just doing what it's told to do. Since you're starting it as root, it just opens root's home directory. If you don't want that to happen, don't start KFM as root. :-) John

as an alternative you could try 'vnc' it does remote control screen sharing -there's an RPM on the new CD Gavin -- From: Jonathan Oppenheim [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] remote xwindow : help needed Date: Wed, Apr 26, 2000, 10:52 AM i don't know if this helps at all, but i have a similar problem, and the cause might be the same. if i su to root, and then start kfm as root, then i get the root's kde desktop on top of my desktop. not sure how to prevent this, but i assume it is a bug in kfm. this problem seems only related to kde running on a local host. you might want to post to the kde list, or check their archives. j On Wed, 26 Apr 2000, Hans Schneidhofer wrote: hi, I've discovered a seldom behavior with remote xwin.
