ssh, xwindows.

[Jonathan Gemmell]

Hello,

Thanks in advance for your help!

I am trying to ssh into another computer with the -X option from a windows 
machine running cygqin.

I am following this procedure

export DISPLAY="ipaddress"
x&
openbox.exe &
ssh -X "computer"

However, when I run the x& line, I run into trouble.  I get the fram of the 
window, but nothing else, and I get the following errors...

$ x&
[1] 3772
