The client is forwarding everything to the Xserver you are sitting at. What you *want* to do is to see the remote desktop in a window on the Qubes desktop. For that you should use a remote desktop tool like vnc, and tunnel it over ssh. (Search for vnc over ssh and you will find many online guides.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] startx over ssh leads to many new Qubes windows
Hello! I am trying to start X on a different machine (FreeBSD if it matters) over SSH in a Qube VM (nothing fancy, just a Qube based on Fedora 32). This works, but every window I open ends up being a new window in Qubes. It's worse than that because UI components also end up as new windows in Qubes. For example, the Xfce panel ends up as a new window too. What I'd like to happen is for everything to open in a single window, so there's just a single Qube window and anything that happens in that environment stays in that window. Is that doable? Sorry I couldn't find anything in the documentation for this. Here's exactly what I do: $ ssh -X me@host. $ /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 --with-ck-launch And then chaos ensues. Appreciate any help here, thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
