Hi - user type here. After some recent updates in the middle of last week I started getting VERY slow display of Evolution through an ssh tunnel. It used to respond and draw evolution very quickly. It's not taking minutes to draw the app on my screen here. mknecht@Gentoo2 mknecht $ !ssh ssh -X -C -c blowfish -l mark wizard.myvnc.com Password: Last login: Mon Apr 26 11:52:21 2004 from 199.108.40.170 mark@Wizard mark $ !evo evolution --disable-sound Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display "localhost:10.0". This last message about Xlib is new since I started having the problem. I am not sure if the localhost:10.0 is the remote machine that's running Evolution at home, or whether it's the local machine here at work where I'm displaying it. Both machines appear to have libXrender on them: REMOTE: mark@Wizard lib $ pwd /usr/X11R6/lib mark@Wizard lib $ ls -al libXrender* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36996 Feb 15 21:02 libXrender.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 15 21:02 libXrender.so -> libXrender.so.1.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 15 21:02 libXrender.so.1 -> libXrender.so.1.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31562 Feb 15 21:02 libXrender.so.1.2 mark@Wizard lib $ LOCAL: Gentoo2 X11 # ls -al /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36252 Feb 17 09:01 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 17 09:03 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so -> libXrender.so.1.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Feb 17 09:03 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 -> libXrender.so.1.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 31899 Feb 17 09:01 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1.2 Gentoo2 X11 # Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Just run Evolution over ssh between my two Gentoo boxes.

xdpyinfo | grep RENDER
On the local machine: mknecht@Gentoo2 mknecht $ xdpyinfo | grep RENDER RENDER mknecht@Gentoo2 mknecht $ On the remote machine where Evolution runs: mark@Wizard mark $ xdpyinfo | grep RENDER mark@Wizard mark $
Now I'm very confused. When I log into Wizard from my Gentoo desktop machine Wizard tells me that RENDER is not supported. However, if I log into Wizard from my Gentoo laptop Wizard tells me the RENDER is supported: mark@Wizard mark $ xdpyinfo | grep RENDER RENDER mark@Wizard mark $ The Gentoo laptop says it supports RENDER locally as well: bash-2.05b$ xdpyinfo | grep RENDER RENDER bash-2.05b$ So is this telling me the problem is really my local Gentoo desktop machine and the way it communicates with the remote machine running Evolution? I'll try comparing maybe the XF86config files, and maybe the ssh/sshd config files. Hopefully you'll be able to point me towards the soluion rather quickly. Thanks!
BTW - Evolution is fast and usable through the ssh tunnel coming from my laptop. It's only slow from my desktop.
OK, so I found out this morning that downgrading openssh from 3.8_p1 to 3.7.1_p2-r2 fixes the problem with rendering. Is this really a bug? Is it an openssh bug? Is it just some configuration issue with the new version? I'd like to be able to update openssh. That's important.

Reassigning to ssh people.
Hi - New info on ssh 3.8. There is a new option in 3.8 for 'Trusted X11 forwarding' wheich is enable d with the -Y option. Using ssh 3.8 and the -Y option my RENDER problem goes away: mknecht@Gentoo2 mknecht $ !ssh ssh -X -Y -C -c blowfish -l mark marksmusic.myvnc.com Password: Last login: Mon May 3 12:07:29 2004 from 199.108.40.170 mark@Wizard mark $ !evo evolution --disable-sound (evolution:2890): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:2010: instance `0x8479160' has no handler with id `2489' (evolution:2890): Bonobo-CRITICAL **: file bonobo-control-frame.c: line 720 (bonobo_control_frame_set_ui_container): assertion `frame->priv->activated == FALSE' failed mark@Wizard mark $ I received additional information that there could be or should be an option for this in ssh_config 'ForwardX11Trusted yes' but I do not find this in my Gentoo files. Maybe an ssh person didn't add it? Anyway, I think it better to do this on a connection by connection basis so I wouldn't want to enable it in the config file anyway. This bug can be closed as far as I'm concerned. I'll report this info on bug 49161 also as I think it may be involved there also.
