Sorry for the delay. We were having problems with our router and general
networking issues - not an nice environment to test things like remote X...
Well I tried that too but it didn't work. The symptoms are exactly the same.
For kicks I tried the following:
While on sonslinux I attempted to start another X server like so:
$ X -query sonslinux :1
This brought me to another console (that I could get to by doing
Alt-Ctrl-F8 whereas my previous console is at Alt-Ctrl-F7) and started X
but KDM did not attach to it. Monitoring I see:
/var/log/messages:
<nothing new>
/var/log/kdm.log
<nothing at all>
<stdout/stderr where I ran the above X -query ...>:

I retried this operation with the following command:
$ X -query sonssun :1
where sonssun is a Sun box running Solaris 7. A CDE session came up with
no problems!
Then I shut all this down again and cleared out the log files and did an
XWin -query sonslinux -from adefaria again:
/tmp/XWin.log (from my XP system):

I'm stumped. I think we need to turn on some more debugging options and
try again. Let me know what to try.
