This is probably not what you want either. If you are just running one application once, just start a server on the windows host, and then ssh to the machine with X forwarding and start the application. x-server-host:# ssh -Y -f application-host xterm or application-host:# DISPLAY=x-server-host:0 xterm If that's not what you want, try looking at Xvnc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- David Carlson thecubic at thecubic.net
