there any way to tell GNUstep applications to contact the gpbs

my local machine instead of the remote one?
If I remember correctly (Richard will know better) you have to start
gpbs manually
and provide the "NSHost" parameter to it. That should get it to
interact
with your local X server.
Thanks for your answer Fred. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Even after
starting gpbs with the -NSHost argument (it took me quite a while to
notice
that it is -NSHost and not --NSHost), the applications still
contacted the
local gpbs server.
Browsing through the source, I found that the +_pbs method of
NSPasteboard
always contacts the local pasteboard server unless the NSHost user
default
is set. Yet, if I invoke an application with a -NSHost argument, the X
backend insists on using this hostname to set the name of the X
display to
be opened in XGServer's _initXContext method, which obviously fails
because
my X server does not open a TCP/IP port in the first place.
