Hi,

I'm running x-deep on an xp box to do remote kde x sessions and it works very well except that if I try to open a folder or launch a web page using konqueror I get the bouncing icon for about 30 seconds and then it gives up. meanwhile on the command line I get a large number of error messages with the main clues relating to a font server. The X-deep FAQ says that most problems can be solved with a font server.

The question is how do I know if I have one installed and if I don't where do I get one. I can't find any software under yast that explicitly calls it's self a font server.

Does anyone have an idea why I get so many error messages when trying to, how do I say it, send the display to my windows laptop? I'm using x-deep and it looks fine, most things work but it won't let me open konquerer. Here's what I type

DISPLAY="ip address":0
export DISPLAY
kde

Here's my error messages
