OK, from a Windows box running Cygwin's X11 environment, I'm setting up an ssh connection to my Mac using the following syntax:
ssh -X -l stockman 192.168.0.9 Once connected, I enter "setenv DISPLAY localhost:10.0" to send the X apps through the SSH connection to my Windows box. This works well, and I can run "xclock" and other apps and have them show up on my Windows screen without problems. The problem is that some applications (that run fine locally on my Mac) fail to run remotely. Here's the error I get: -------------- Error output start ---------------- abiword The program 'AbiWord-2.0' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 58 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) ---------------- Error output end -------------------- I get this error running Ethereal as well, plus some others. My question: is this a bug in the programs, as the error message suggests? Or in the Fink compilation of those programs? Or is it a bug in my X environment (Cygwin)? When I connect the same way from Cygwin to a Linux box and run similar programs (sometimes the same ones, like Ethereal), I don't get these errors, suggesting it's Fink or OS X somehow.
