I'm guessing the two X servers are fighting over display 0. What command line are you using to run Xephyr? Make sure you specify a display number when running it (i.e. tack a ':9' on to the end of the command line).

Until I Ctrl-C the command in the terminal and then the X11 icon appears in the dock and i get this in the log:

What are you seeing in console log (check /Applications/Utilities/ Console.app)?

Thanks for the idea, however when I try to launch the command as you suggest I end up with a constantly relaunching X11.app appearing in the dock. The icon appears then goes away again, constantly, until I Ctrl-C the Xephyr command in Terminal then the X11 icon appears in the dock and stays there. Watching a process output I see X11 restarting every few seconds with a new PID

Any thoughts?

This is a known issue that no one else on this list will comment on
except me, so far. I get the exact same behavior with 1.2a7 and 1.2a8
doing "Xquartz -query -once (mylinuxserverIP)". Since no one else
will even comment on this issue and I'm not an X developer, I have
absolutely no idea why this is happening.


I haven't commented on it yet because I have not yet set up an XDMCP setup I can play with. However, as a workaround, have you tried Xephyr? You should be able to to download Xephyr from my site (http://people.freedesktop.org/~bbyer/x11app/). Xephyr lets you run a "virtual" X server within a window. I would imagine you could run "Xephyr -fullscreen -query -once (mylinuxserverIP)" from Terminal.app, which would then cause X11.app to run, and run Xephyr as a client. An advantage of this would be that you could drag this "fullscreen window" to one of your Spaces, and be able to switch back and forth easily.
