Hi Marilyn, Brent & others, Thanks you for your responses.

I ran xterm to check it. So this is not the problem. I am not sure that OpenDX works that way: that the OpenDX server opens a regular X11 window. I suspect that the server communicates with the GUI, and GUI is responsible for displaying the image. I think that way, because when I ran my program the GUI opened a black window for an image. The window remained open after I killed the server. Best, Irek
