See, this is why I think it's licq. I run ssh from within and X session
all the time, and my $DISPLAY gets set all kind of places, but I never get
messages griping about a screen saver.
My primary suspicion remains that somebody just mis-coded some Xlib calls
in licq.
Also, let me make sure I understand the scenario you describe:
local host (foo): remote host (bar):
xhost + bar
ssh bar
export DISPLAY="foo:0.0"
licq &
licq thus runs on host foo. Do I understand you correctly?
If so, I have a suggestion:
It's a terrible idea to use that xhost command. You're undermining the
security of ssh in a serious way. ssh *automatically* handles X sessions
for you if $DISPLAY is set on the machine you're coming FROM. ssh will see
that $DISPLAY is set on the local machine, and will create, upon a
successful ssh login to a remote host (with xauth installed), a proxy
$DISPLAY (usually with server number 10), through which it will encrypt X
protocol transactions back to the local host, and then redirect them to the
local host's $DISPLAY.
In other words, all you should have to do is the following, from the local
host.
ssh bar /usr/bin/X11/licq &
Of course, if you have other commands to run on the remote host, just "ssh
bar" as normal, then "licq &" on the remote host, and proceed to do your
other business.
