I have run into two cases where applications work using traditional UNIX/Linux 
workstations, but not with the Sun Ray.  Here's a brief description:

A user does an ssh -X to a remote server and runs an HP OpenView Motif-based 
application.  On the Sun Ray, the application complains that it can't locate 
the correct font, and exits.  Using Exceed from a PC or ssh -X from a SuSE 
Linux workstation, the application works as expected.

For the other issue, the user also does an ssh -X to a different remote server 
and launches a Java application - a third-party application from a small 
specialty software provider called "Mercator".  When the application launches, 
the display is garbled and the Sun Ray server CPU pegs.  Again, if the 
application
is launched from a UNIX/Linux workstation or Exceed session, it works fine.

I realize there isn't any real data here to go on, but I was just curious if 
anyone has seen anything like this.  To me, it makes no sense at all, as I 
assume that the entire X environment was on the remote server and all that is
being used locally (on the Sun Ray server) is the DISPLAY.

Thanks,
Bill
