A little tact would go a long way (was: workaround for X11 sharing by multiple users)
I'm sorry, where is it written that submissions to this site need to come from some sysadmin guru with 200 years experience? You make some VERY valid points about how DISPLAY settings can get you into trouble, but please, this site is called macosxHINTS.com, not bloody macos-snotty-mightier-than-thou-gurus.com. Don't discourage new members (like myself!) from posting with this kind of negative comback. We want posts, posters, and user experiences on this site, right?

Ah! A discussion thread I have never seen before ;)

I am not a sys admin (obvious by now ;). Why anyone would assume so perplexes me since this great site is an open public forum. I am an academic research scientist who studies viruses using biophysical methods, and a long time unix end user. My lab works on a stricly limited budget and can not employ a sys admin. So it is left to those of us willing to take on new enterprises (usually at personal cost) to extend our capabilities and solve some of our impediments. This is why I read this site and posted this hint here - like the great variety of non-admins out there I was looking for helpful discussion. I did look for the answer to my problem for the amount of time I could afford, and didn't run across the answer. Indeed, the capability I look for doesn't appear to exist. The open-x11 command is very close though and I will make use of it. |
