Hi,

I start an X server on my FreeBSD box. I want to run some remote X
applications from my fedora core 2.
So, I have ssh to the fedora box and typed gedit.
But it says :
   (gedit:12438): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

After I had export  DISPLAY=3Dfreebsdboxip:0.0
it says again:
   (gedit:12438): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

But I can run freebsd application from my fedora core 2.
What is the problem?
