[indiana-discuss] unable to export my x application displays back to opensolaris desktop

[Bryan Boone]

...But I still can't display an X Window from a remote login :(

*NIX-> BSD-> OSX

Now it's
OSX-> *NIX-> Debian-> *buntu-> Debian SID-> *Solaris-> OpenSolaris

HMMM.... My head is starting to hurt, esp since I cut my teeth as a 
Windows 3.0 developer. ;)
