I even tried 'xhost +'... I still get the "cannot open >display" error... You shouldn't use xhost or DISPLAY= if you use ssh. Either try one or the other.

No, because the connection looks like a local connection for the X server. Thorsten -- A: Top posters Q: What's the most annoying thing about email these days?
