X can be confusing as the application is the client and that is displayed on the server, so I think you want to run 'xhost +' on your local box, then export the display on the server box. ..or am I mixed up? Also, I do recall having problems working with multiple X sessions on a single box. One thing that caused grief was temp lock files for the display. Have a look in the /tmp for a something like ".X0-lock". -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
