Re: AW: AW: SV: focus failure with x11 and Mac OS X 10.5



Well you have some options:

1) Tunnel X11 over SSH
2) Use Xnest or Xephyr and have a completely nested X11 session from the remote system
3) Revert back to Tiger's X11
4) Disable launchd support for X11, unset DISPLAY, have X use :0, allow tcp connections to your DISPLAY, ssh to the remote system and set DISPLAY=my-x-server-machines-ip:0 ... this isn't as secure, but it's what happens with xdmcp, so I'm guessing you don't care about the security in your case.


Hope that helps...

unfortunately it is a repuirement that we use X, because we need to have all

XDMCP support in Leopard is broken. This is a sad fact. Xephyr is one way to work around the problem, as you (and others have noted) -- but it is not a full solution.

Is it a requirement that you use XDMCP?  Most organizations have
switched to using ssh to connect to a remote machine, and then
launching applications through the ssh tunnel.

Those are by design for Xephyr and Xnest. Those run an X-server within a window on another X server. If you don't want that, then just run X11.app and start your applications within there.

Am I missing something here?

Here is a note from a Hiflex user...

The problem is that you get
1. A Xephyr desktop that hides your Mac-desktop
2. The different X11-applications/windows are not moveable and you
are not
able to switch between them. The upper window is the only one you can
access.


Greetings
Christer
