After opening a frame on a new display in order to collaborate on a file which was being edited, I no longer had control of my own frame. Keyboard entry is ignored, I can get at the GTK menus although they seem to do nothing useful. Clicking the 'close' button in the window manager doesn't even work. Not even scrolling up and down in the file works -- although thankfully resizing the window does work, so at least I can _see_ the text he's added to my file :) When I click on a GTK menu and my opponent uses cursor keys, both he and I get confused as his cursor key movement moves around the menus on my screen which he can't see. Multi-player emacs used to be _much_ more useful than this.

I'll try to reproduce as soon as I get my FC5 laptop back from IBM warranty repairs. Chip
Yeah. The machine on which emacs was running was FC5/i386; the remote X server was FC6/x86_64.

Sorry, that was a typo. The remote display was FC5.
(In reply to comment #4) > Sorry, that was a typo. The remote display was FC5. With an FC5 emacs (21.4-15) and a RHEL-4 display, everything works fine. I'll try swapping roles. Chip
RHEL-4 emacs on FC-5 display also works. Now I need to scrounge up another FC-5 box try FC-5 emacs on FC-5 display. Chip
