Which ssh client are you using? > I erred. ssh will generate a $DISPLAY with an offset of the form :10.0 You may want to set the "Obtain a Display number automatically" check box, and keep an eye on the output of the execution progress/result sshd sets up a $DISPLAY with an offset so as not to interfere with and X servers runningon the machine you are connecting to. Probaby what you want to do (as someone else suggested) is run startkde as you already have an X server (on you local machine) running. I think that in the Execution Command a straight startkde should suffice, rather than from an xterm. --kit -- whois -h whois.gandi.net KM78-GANDI To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
