What happened to the motto of not fixing something if it's not broken? Why is there such a mad rush to re-invent things but do so more poorly than the original, working solution? >> However, the real beauty of X's network transparency is not in 'ssh >> -X', it is in putting a hostname or IP address in the value of >> $DISPLAY so that X clients can access X display servers wherever >> they may be. > > X11 was never “network-transparent”.

Without resorting to VNC, RDP, or anything similar, I have personally launched X clients that displayed on a display server on a different host. All you have to do is use the proper syntax to specify the remote display server in $DISPLAY or when calling the library function to open the display, set XHost appropriately, and supply the XAUTH key/cookie/whatever. -- Robert Riches spamtrap42@jacob21819.net (Yes, that is one of my email addresses.)
