However, X applications still won't work because User B's
display is set to :0.0 (i.e. client apps like xclock will
show up on A's screen, but not on B's). User B should get
an error message like "connection to :0.0 refused by server".
User b must do a "setenv DISPLAY :1.0" in csh or tcsh, or
the equivalent (DISPLAY-:1.0;export DISPLAY) in sh or bash.
this shouldn't be necessary - any applications launched from "beneath"
the X server process will have DISPLAY set to the correct value for
that server (in this case :1.0). It sounds like you may have added
something to your environment to unconditionally set DISPLAY to :0.0
If was even worse in my case - a remnant from the X11 beta days, when I
ran icewm to help verify quartz-wm behavior:
if [ "$DISPLAY" = ":0" ]; then
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/quartz-wm
else
exec /sw/bin/icewm
fi
So the "problem" was dependent upon the order in which X11 was started
... apologies for the bad bug report.
