when "openapping" Gorm remotely, I receive a bunch of errors and all appears white at screen. Here are the error messages : 2004-03-08 23:23:09.878 Gorm[30747] X-Windows error - BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter) on display: nout:1.0 type: 0 serial number: 924 request code: 2 2004-03-08 23:23:09.933 Gorm[30747] X-Windows error - BadShmSeg (invalid shared segment parameter) on display: nout:1.0 type: 0 serial number: 931 request code: 148 (both the server and the client have gnustep launched). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gnustep-* 2.emerge app-gnustep/gorm 3.openapp Gorm (remotely) Expected Results: see Gorm (or any gnustep app). I tried this via a remote X connection, via ssh conenction, same results.
First, there are new packages available. Secondly, the libart_lgpl based backend is not intended for remote X usage. The xlib backend is intended to still support X remoting. So, using the new packages, you can "emerge -pv gnustep-back-xlib" and run the support script "/usr/GNUstep/System/Tools/Gentoo/config-gnustep-back-xlib.sh" to change to use of this backend.
