So far, the most I can do is ssh into the desktop then run an individual program.. I didn't have xhost set, which is why I couldn't do anything before, so atleast now I can run individual apps. >=20 > BTW, from laptop X try sshing to desktop, then running Xnest.

Well, this is all at home and it's only my laptop/server/desktop on the network, so I don't care about security with this. But it's a good idea for work.. Though, once I run Xnest, I just get an empty X window.. I guess I'm missing something. nathan --=-jMYtSzBpaQfwa/ystIy2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA7pb2g8roUgVY5MsERAhK5AJ9YYYQ0muXtKSiuLf6JAqpWjuJggQCgnWz7 wrzI9FpJnAtZYfu8JCMkZCE= =DH/e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-jMYtSzBpaQfwa/ystIy2--
