Hello all.
I am fighting with an application which will not display on any X than 0.0.
I'm running Fedora Core 2 (please keep your comments to yourself or better yet if you feel it's that pathetic to still be running Core 2 then volunteer to come over and spend a weekend seeing if it's possible to have this app run on something newer).
I've tried nomachine NX and am able to run everything. However, the performance issues on this system makes it unusable. There are slight issues with image clarity, but what is worse is there are major refresh issues along with broken fonts. A better description of the refresh issues: I'm looking at a series of images, when i movie through those images the screen stays where I started until I "force" a screen refresh by doing something like bringing down the Edit menu, then the image jumps to where I movied to.
So since I've hit a dead end with Nomachine I've gone back to my original trials...XDMCP
so I've followed the directions for opening up XDM at

I'm using Reflection X (since I already have it) but xming has the same results. I can connect, other apps run fine (gimp, mozilla, etc). Performace is very good, no refresh issues like Nomachine NX. However when I run the main app i need it opens still on the local workstation and not my remote X session.
I've even tried crazy things like setting display variables to see if it would trick the application:
When at the local workstation "set" provides DISPLAY=:0.0
On my remote "set" provides DISPLAY=citrix.xxx.com:1.0
so on my remote console I do export DISPLAY=:0.0 which sets it but now when i try to run the stubborn app i then discovered that it is calling for a second application by showing me an error "Could not initialize the UI"
If i try to run that second app directly I then get
err: ERR_TABLE not in environment
So is there anyone out there who can make any recommendations on how to force this application to run somewhere besides 0.0?
Thank you.
