Hi,

I'm realising problems when using redirection of KDE applications to other X-Servers \
through my private LAN.

I usually work this way: I disable authorization checks on my remote machine (client) \
and telnet then on my "server". There I start an KDE application like kmail and tell \
him by "-display" where to open its GUI.

kmail, for instance, exits immediately, if it is running on the server, yet. Then it \
just flashes that window on the server again.

with a running kmail on my client i tried to open an rtf-document attached with a \
mail. I decided to use kword. This popped up a messagebox, that said, RTF import \
wouldn't be implemented. Well, this is ok, but this messagebox was drawn on the \
server, not on the client.

Even if I redefine DISPLAY on the server before starting kmail, any external viewer - \
even kwrite - draws itself on my servers screen.

Thomas
