You probably want to start the X server as 'X localhost:0' (or 'xinit -- localhost:0') so it would work over TCP (I don't think Ethereal can sniff Unix sockets). Before running applications, you might need to set the DISPLAY env. variable to 'localhost:0' too. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
