I'm stumped again. I've lost my ability to control xhost for more than a minute or so. This is fairly recent.
my "xhost + . . . " line in .xsession used to let me specify my common hosts, including localhost. No longer. It is necessary to do an xhost + immediately before a program tries to open an xwindow. ANd for each additional attempt. I don't *think* i did anything to bring on this change. WHile I'm at it, should I be using something other than xhost? the fm's i rt 'd seem to suggest I should be using magic cookies instead. rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
