For the record, I have found a way to have the applications work as they should. I normally run windowmaker-0.91.0 as my window manager. With this wm, qt applications freeze. If I use X11 forwarding with 'ssh -X localhost' and log as myself, I get a lot of errors in the controlling xterm such as these: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 7 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x49 However, the application is perfectly functional. File/Open in scribus opens a dialog and does not freeze the application window for example. If I change the window manager in ~/.xinitrc, I don't need to use the ssh trick. With KDE's wm or a sole xterm Qt applications run fine. I am now pretty sure there is something fishy with windowmaker. -- Francois Tigeot
