Julio, It seems what you are trying to do and what you are doing it with are orthogonal. The apache web server is design to take requests via HTTP, process them, and spit them out as HTTP. Usually this means a browser sends a GET or POST request for a URL, and the Apache server returns, HTML or XML which the browser displays.
X11 clients (the applications) use the X protocol, interacting directly with the X server (which is the terminal). Mouse and keyboard events are encapsulated in X by the terminal, sent to the client, which does some processing, then sends the graphics draw instructions back to the server. This is totally different to the type of interaction and protocol of a web server. Maybe if you explain specifically what you are trying to do, we might be able to guide you.

They simply don't run, and no error appear in any of my logs. Does anybody know how to do it? I tried to do it through a PHP script, installed as an Apache module. I'm pretty sure my Apache user has the correct permissions. I managed to run anything just fine by using it on the shell, however, essentially when trying to run via a script (HTTP Request), it just doesn't happen. Any help is appreciated. -- Julio C.
