I am running Xfree86 on my 2.1.5 system. One ongoing problem is that i cannot get windows to appear on my screen from remotely operating x clients if and only if they are solaris-like binaries. What i mean by this is that MIT-flavor x tools work just fine, when run on the Sun and displaying on my PC. Things that have been linked with openlook (or whatever they are calling it now) make the lights blink on my modem for a long time, but nothing comes up. An example of this would be netscape for solaris. The dialog box saying that the lock file exists shows up, but the main window never does, despite mad light blinking. My assumption is that there is a problem with the window manager interface. I have seen the same failure running twm and mwm. Haven't tried any others. Any suggestions? -mark
