Hey.
I have $DISPLAY exported to "computer_name:0.0" before I run fvwm.
When I bring up an xterm inside fvwm, my DISPLAY variable has changed
to just ":0.0", when it should be "computer_name:0.0"... Why does fvwm
strip off the name of the computer in this variable ???
I have two monitors and all local x-applications are displayed
correctly...
My problem is running remote x-applications... The display never makes
it back because $DISPLAY is set to ":0.0" and not fully qualified to
"computer_name:0.0".... you see... And I don't want to export $DISPLAY
every time I start a new xterm...
I tried using the fvwm command "SetEnv DISPLAY computer_name:0.0"
and that sets $DISPLAY to "computer_name:0.0", but then all the
applications
show on :0.0 and never :0.1... doh, and double doh...
Has anyone else encountered this... I would like it if fvwm didn't
manipulate
the DISPLAY variable, or if there was a way to tell it not to ???
