I ran evolution today (ssh -X email@hidden) from the command
line, and it worked for all the stuff I tried. It even spawned new
windows and closed them when requested/required.
This evolution is the stock 1.0.8 install under redhat linux 8. I do
not have the exchange server plug-in dealie bopper installed on the
linux machine.
The default Mozilla on the Linux machine also started right up and
worked fine.
I have the gtk and gtk+ libraries installed and it seems OK.
I started kpoker up and played a game. Seemed fine until I attempted to
use one of it's menus.
Hope that's useful info.
Michael

It's not GTK, its either evolution or one of its components (bonobo,

evolution, on the other hand has all kind's of weird behaviour.
If you've managed to get xdmcp working, try: Xnest -query remotehost.
You can set the size of the Xnest window with -geometry 1024x768.
Quickly, to get xdmcp working for RedHat using gdm, edit
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and set Enable=1 in section [xmdcp], and
restart X (logout, CLT-ALT-BackSpace should do the trick)
NOTE: I have been running Linux since and Mac OS X since the public
beta
Ok this is a beta version. It is pretty cool. OpenOffice.org works
just fine.
I thought it might be fun to open applications on the Vaio. Evolution
would
have been slightly usefull.
ssh X forwarding between Redhat and Apple X11 is broken. I use ssh X
forwaring
all the time to administer clients servers.
xterm gives a "Display not found" error. As noted in the flood of
e-mails
(thanks to everyone) X forwarding looks after this. It has been
working on my
main machine (Vaio C1XD Picturebook) for almost three years.
I'll try again with the next version.
Thanks again to all
Tony Grant
