After you ssh to the system do an echo $DISPLAY to look at what is currently set. You should most likely see something like: localhost:10.0 If you don't see that then try: ssh -X computer1 and try the echo $DISPLAY again. I think the problem is that you are setting the DISPLAY variable wrong. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx It was all so different before everything changed.
