I like this track of thought. Just what I was thinking... I havent been
fiddling with this much since my last post, but for the record:
unset DISPLAY
export TERM=cygwin
...doesnt help a bit. same symptoms. And "ssh -x" doesnt help like Igor
suggested. (but thanx for the input!) My login scripts on the other
machine dont play with any variables except PATH. What windows systems
do you guys run? I'm doing all of this on an WinXP box.
But I dont see how that could matter, since it works outside
X. Work has gotten in the way of playing around with this more. If anyone
has followed this thread and have similar symptoms, I wouldnt mind sharing
experiences with ssh/X/cygwin.
Thanx everyone who gave some input. If I put more energy into this and
figure out what the problem was, I'll let ya'll know. (but dont hold your
breath, as I am swamped with "real" work.) %-)
