One more note here: Josh Boyer verified that it works perfectly on a local machine, my tests were done from a RHEL-6.1 x86_64 machine via ssh -X to the PPC box and thats when i got the error. Thanks & regards, Phil
OK, seems that something with my local x server seems to be fubar, it works nicely for others over SSH. Closing as notabug then and i'll investigate where my local x server issue comes from. Thanks & regards, Phil
