Since no one else has disputed this post yet, I think it is time to do so. I have used X-forwarding over SSH enough to know that you need not and you should not set $DISPLAY manually. I fail to understand why you came up with the example above. No one have suggested or commented any such thing. -- Note that I use Debian version 3.0 Linux emac140 2.4.17 #1 s?n feb 10 20:21:22 CET 2002 i686 unknown Hans Ekbrand
