Hi, Thanks for answering :-)
Yes, the application always fails to display, which by the way is SANtricity Storage Manager client for FASt (Fibre Channel RAID manager). I know it is not a security issue (since I ran xhost prior to running), otherwise the program gives a long blurp, so that can not be the the case. Likewise, if the app were tied to display :0, I would think it would always pop up on my office screen, even when I run the the program in a vncviewer on that same display. The lacking extensions sound more plausible, though I get no peep from the program and it continues to run probably waiting for some input from me in a window I cannot see... I was actually planning on opening a defect on the program, but without any specifics, it is kind of hard, since they will probably just claim that the problem must be in vnc. Any ideas? Of course I could get hold of a windoze SMclient, but I would hate to get my hand dirty, and it defies the purpose of being able to do everything with vnc, which is such a great tool, which has saved so many trips to the office in weekends and nights, thank you guys :-) -- Sincerely Klavs From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=22Beerse=2C_Corn=E9=22?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Window does not show up on vnc display Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2002 11:07:40 +0200 Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > I am running Xvnc (latest version) on an AIX box and usually > logs in from > home with linux to access the display.

Btw, I am using Java > 1.3.0 Runtime > Environment, which is fairly recent I believe. Is it always the same application that never runs? Then it is the application. I've seen some variants in this: - Applications that need several X11 extentions that Xvnc does not handle. The application should give a notice that it needs the extentions. - Bad designed X11 applications that are hardcoded to display numbers :0 or :0.0. That's not according to the X11 definition and this must be reported as an error to the application. - Not allowed to display. This is solved by removing the security from the X11 server with `xhost +`. However, take care, now everyone can invoke applications to that display, even display grabbers to grab your output. For details see the xhost man pages. CBee --__--__-- _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
