Personally I think it's useless to run a GUI under a GUI, that you're running X on windows is your choice, I just fail to see why you'd need a GUI while you already have on that functions properly. And yea, I like linux a lot, but that doesn't mean you need to :-) Microsoft has some nice products, they really do. I just don't always like MS attitude towards it's customers and the way they fix some probs but that doesn't mean the products are bad.
Still would like to know why you wanna run X under windows.... FAIK everything you can do under windows can be done under linux and vice versa so why consume those extra cycles? BTW, I'm no programmer :-) if you know the true meaning of hacker (not the news paper one) you MIGHT call me one, but I don't program (yet atleast) Anyways is your problem solved or not? It appears to me it's some sort of TCP/IP port problem thus firewall or perhaps you don't have the rights to open ports, which would seem odd to me since you can't browse then either unless they only allow some range of ports to be opened by any user. Sorry 'bout the attitude. The bucket just ran over and you got all of it.... Perhaps next time I should collect all the emails of people that fill the bucket and send it to them all <BEG> regards Btw my name is Ferry aka freaky.......
