Right, right. I probably deserve to get spanked for not using the proper terminology. Anyway, I'd like to pop X windows on my desktop. I have gnome setup (including gdm), everything is working fine, except that I don't have X configured to use an external port such that I can "xhost +servername" and pop a window on my desktop. Previously, this was done via gdm.conf and I've been doing this for years this way and if you look in: /usr/share/*gdm*/defaults.*conf* you'll see the potential settings. --Kurt > >> [security] >> DisallowTCP=false >> RelaxPermissions=2 > > This certainly has NOTHING to do with your problem.
