Right, right. I probably deserve to get spanked for not using the |
| 16 |
proper terminology. |

|

Anyway, I'd like to pop X windows on my desktop. I have gnome setup |
| 19 |
(including gdm), everything is working fine, except that I don't have X |
| 20 |
configured to use an external port such that I can "xhost +servername" |
| 21 |
and pop a window on my desktop. |

Previously, this was done via gdm.conf and I've been doing this for |
| 24 |
years this way and if you look in: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
/usr/share/*gdm*/defaults.*conf* |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
you'll see the potential settings. |
