Thanks Phil
Looks like you are right. I just have to run evo/palm link on the w/s
and still keep the same display. It's like clapping backwards
FOI:
9.5. Launching local applications
In X Windows, programs typically run relative to where the window
manager runs. That is, if the window manager is running on the server,
displaying its output on the workstation, then any programs that are
launched, will also run on the server, sending their output to the
workstation.
The trick is having the server tell the workstation to launch the
program. This is typically done with the rsh command.
Here's an example of how to run the gaim program on the workstation:
HOST=`echo $DISPLAY | awk -F: '{ print $1 }'`
rsh ${HOST} /usr/bin/gaim -display ${DISPLAY}
The above example can be entered in an xterm window, or it can be put
into a shell script, and be launched by an icon on the desktop.
