Well, i'm logged in via ssh, so i'm using ssh's X11 proxying/ forwarding. emxh doesn't seem to like this very much: BgRegister X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored Can anybody tell me what's the way out? (I'm not convinced the X server is really insecure, but ssh's proxy inherits all the xhost settings of the server it's acting on behalf of.) Also, the exmh 2 port from the 2.2.2 CD constantly whines: {couldn't execute "folders": no such file or directory} Should i revert to the version 1.something? (I don't wanna spend too much energy into this minor issue.) -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
