I have run into apps that will only write to display :0, not to :1, or any other display. I don't know if anyone has developed a way around this yet. Sometimes, if the app allows you to specify a display, you can do that and it fixes the problem. Something like this: app --display your_machine:1 or app --display $DISPLAY or app -d $DISPLAY When running VNC, the environment variable DISPLAY should be set. It really ought to work, so it probably is a limitation of the app. Sorry.
