Samuel

He's standing up and babbling lately, he can say Mama, Dada, and Baba. It's pretty darn cute.

X11 over ssh

I use ssh quite a lot, and I would get annoying messages such as:

X Error of failed request: BadWindow ... blahblahblah
X Error of failed request: BadAtom ... blahblahblah

etc.

when attempting to forward X11 over ssh, luckily most of my work hasn't been gui-sensitive and I've used the command line for nearly all of my work, until now. I'm doing some Qt development and thought "why not try to fire up designer" - yikes - why not? - you only live once. So I did, and it blew up terribly. Rather than being overcome by this annoyance I decided to search it out. Indeed other people have experienced this problem, one kind soul figured figured he would post a solution in 2004. The short story: just put -Y on your ssh command line like this:
ssh -Y -X me@box

Cheers
