Maybe from a remote ssh session.
Yes, you're right. You could use "ssh -Y ...; echo $DISPLAY; export DISPLAY=...; xterm" but I'd make sure that KDM/KDE isn't running to ensure that there's no interference. My knowledge of X, WMs, and DEs is minimal so my other option would be to log out of KDM/KDE, go to a vt, stop KDM, install fluxbox, start fluxbox, and launch xterm to see where it starts off. There's probably a way of starting just X and an xterm without installing fluxbox but I tried a few days ago to start X with just "X" on a Fedora install and the whole of GNOME came up; I didn't try anything else because I didn't the time to do so but I'll have to take a look at "/etc/X11" to see if there's any call to GDM there... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
