Hi, I'm very late to answer in this thread and i must admit that I didn't read every post so far. But it seems to me everything goes the wrong way...

Starting it would look like this: remote$ xinit /usr/bin/pekwm -- /usr/bin/Xnest -geometry 640x480 -nolisten tcp replace /usr/bin/pekwm by your actual window manager (or leave it out to go the "normal" way that's configured for your remote user). By the way: having X listen on TCP is *not* necessary to use SSH's X forwarding. Your problems with SSH tunneling are related to Xauth, i think, but hopefully that stuff above is already enough information... HWH -- [email protected] mailing list
