Hi there! |

Is there such a thing as a traffic/protocol analyzer for X11? I have a |
| 4 |
self-written application (using the old XView toolkit), and under certain |
| 5 |
circumstances some dialogs do not react. I had this 2 years ago under KDE |
| 6 |
3.5, and some people now experience the same when SSH'ing from an OS X |
| 7 |
machine into openSUSE or into my gentoo machine. I'd like to see what is |
| 8 |
going on there. |

A web search only found Xmon, but with most download links being dead, |
| 11 |
even on sourceforge [1] there is nothing to download. But I finally found |
| 12 |
a working download link on ubuntu.com [2]. The package does not compile, |
| 13 |
but I only had to comment out one line. According to the man page, the |
| 14 |
command 'xmonui | xmond' would create another X server (localhost:1), and |
| 15 |
I would set the DISPLAY variable to this when starting my application. |
| 16 |
xmond will use localhost:0, that is, the real X server, to display my |
| 17 |
application, but it will output all X traffic. So it is sort of a proxy to |
| 18 |
the real server. |

|

Alas, it does not work, I get a 'Can't open display' error, and xmond |
| 21 |
outputs 'Can't open connection to Server (ECONNREFUSED)'. |

Any other ideas? |
