X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization)
This page is devoted to those users who are using MacOS or PC, with third-party X server software.
WJR - Just curious, what's the connection to Tcl/Tk? Are there specific issues with Tk on 3rd party X servers?
What happens when you bring up your X server?
I get a little window in the center of the screen asking me to log into the host computer.
I get an xterm on my favorite host, or I have to launch clients from menus or dialogs.
Something else.
Here's instructions from Hummingbird about how to set up xauth between Exceed and a Unix machine: http://www.hummingbird.com/support/nc/exceed/xauth.html?searchType=Basic&searchText=xauth&rank=1
Note that one may encounter a variety of problems when trying to run Tk applications on a Unix platform and displaying back to the Exceed X server (at least through version 10.0.0.12) .
