window managers don't work over ssh
I cant seem to make any window manager work over ssh, but they all work locally. I am using Xorg now, and i didn't have this problem with XFree86.

Not sure if it would solve your problem, but did you try this? Several conditions have to be met to forward X11 using ssh/openssh: 1. The sshd_config file on the machine you're connecting to has to have ``X11Forwarding yes'' set. 2. On the client machine, the ssh_config file needs ``ForwardX11 yes'' or the ssh command must use the ``-X'' option. 3. On newer versions of openssh, the client ssh_config must have ``ForwardX11Trusted yes''. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.
