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

Right, our Xquartz doesn't work without a window manager. I'm not talking about the xdcmp issue, and aparently you were. Sorry for the confusion. My point here is to figure out why option #4 will not work for you:

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.

You said "(The problem is not that xdmcp 
does not work per se, but that it works but without a window manager
you cannot click into the login window so you cannot log in. This has
nothing to do with launchd support at all; it's a separate problem.)"

My solution in #4 has nothing to do with xdmcp. I'm trying to get you a way to use your remote applications which don't work with ssh tunneling of X11. To do that, you need to setup X11 to run with DISPLAY=:0 (which requires disabling the launchd support), enable tcp connections, do xhost + <the ip of the other machine> to allow tcp connections from that box, ssh to that box, set DISPLAY=<ip of my x server>:0 to use tcp instead of ssh tunneling, then execute your command.
