X Window client apps work just fine through ssh without a monitor on the remote computer. I often do that when managing servers when I prefer the X Window tool (e.g, gvim vs. vim). No X Window server is needed on the remote computer, but the X Window client libs and fonts are useful. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
