Ah, interesting. A bit slow over my wireless. Gets confusing for me -- like which set of .Xdefaults get used? Also interesting -- from my laptop to one machine I can run the remote xterm fine -- although the window is much larger. I guess I'm not using my normal resources. Going the other way that command pops up a blank xterm window that I can't seem to close. > If you run the xterm on the remote box, displayed via X11 forwarding, > all is well.
