X is running on both machines, which are both next to one another. At the moment I have text on KDE's Konsole on machine B. I need to be able to see this text on machine A. I can ssh into machine B from machine A with no problem. I can then type "konsole", but this just opens an empty konsole. What I'm looking for is to display what's on machine B's Konsole on machine A. Sorry that I'm not terribly clued up. Nigel.
