Something like: % env DISPLAY=mynullhost:10.0 myxapp % env DISPLAY=:1.0 myxapp Or, if you start your app from within X and just want to hide its windows, you could also try to configure your favorite window manager to automatically hide all windows from a particular application (if your wm allows it and if your X11 app tells its name in an X11 resource (check out RESOURCES in X(7), and -xrm)). -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

My usual workaround is: 1. "xterm &" in Terminal one. 2. "appname &" in the new Xterm, then CTL-D. I also have a couple of buttons in XFCE that simply call "ssh $somehost $someapp". I've no idea where it puts the stderror/stdout, but I never see it.
