One problem I've been having repeatedly with X11 on the mac is that
if I
do
ssh -X myhost gdmflexiserver --xnest
When the remote login window comes up (as presented by Xephyr), the

on my keyboard produce, in some cases nothing, and in others, the
wrong
character. So I can't log in. On the other hand, if I
ssh -X myhost
and then:
gdmflexiserver --xnest
Everything works. Any clues?
This sounds like an environment problem. When you run:
ssh -X myhost
You are starting up a shell on "myhost" and sourcing any login
settings
that are located in the .bash_profile or .profile file.
Running:
ssh -X myhost gdmflexiserver --xnest
Bypasses the setting of any login environment settings.
I don't have gdmflexiserver, so I can't test this, but there are
several
ways to source the remote environment, but you might try something
like:
ssh -t -X myhost gdmflexiserver --xnest
Or:
ssh -t -X myhost "bash -l -c \"gdmflexiserver --xnest\" "
Thanks for the suggestions, Doug, but neither of those lines causes
any change. Other ideas? FWIW,
* the remote machine is running OpenSolaris 0906.
* I don't have this problem when the local machine is running Linux
