Hope this helps.
Thank you for your excellent description of the workings of DX. I
have been observing its behavior with little wrapper scripts around
its key executables, and couldn't really figure out why dxui was
being called, etc.
As for my problem, I was going to say that it DOES matter from where
I ssh, which then led me to my answer. Our lab environment has it
set up so that they do something odd with our DISPLAY variable when
we ssh, so we don't have to set it up by hand. Basically, it tunnels
X through ssh. Normally this works fine. But from my SGI, it
apparently makes a difference -- setting the DISPLAY variable by hand
on my local host has fixed the problem!
Thanks for being my "rubber duck!" :-)
(PS Jeff and Betsy -- this also fixes the "slow as molasses" thing. :-)
