You can. I want to do this for all applications. Not just GNOME terminal. So if an application is running on a machine that isn't your local Xserver (or the machine metacity is running on perhaps) it will tell you the hostname of the Xclient. eg, if I ran the command. ssh charlie17 "DISPLAY=tc35:0 mgiva" A window would appear on my workstation which was titled "MGiva (on charlie17)", or something to that effect. Does this clear it up? --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
