So the remote machine has $DISPLAY set to the local display? That's not right, unless it's not a remote box at all.

What config setting am I missing? If the DISPLAY variable is getting clobbered, it probably starts at localhost:10, so you could thry that, then localhost:11, etc, find it that way. -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] If walking is so good for you, then why does my mailman look like Jabba the Hut? _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://machito.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
