I am interested in running the OpenLook Window manager across an Ethernet to my X Server but I can't seem to get this to work. Has anyone successfully run olwm across the network to a remote X Server. Frank.

Has anyone successfully >run olwm across the network to a remote X Server. Yes. Assume that I want to run olwm on marvin and my workstation in slug2. Further assume that I want to run olwm on screen 1. Olwm is a single screen window manager, so you have to start it for each screen that you want to manage :-(. It can be done in the following two ways: marvin% setenv DISPLAY slug2:0.1 marvin% olwm & or marvin% olwm -display slug2:0.1 & This assumes that a network connection is possible between marvin and slug2 and that marvin is allowed to connect to slug2's X server. I always to a xhost + in my xinitrc file so I can do stuff like this w/o thinking. Warner -- Warner Losh imp@Solbourne.COM We sing about Beauty and we sing about Truth at $10,000 a show.
