Re: remote hosting

Hi Tim,

I read through your mail and your patch, but still don't quite get the
issue you have. It is a know problem that GNUstep will complain about
multiple displays and it even may not work fully correctly in that case,
but what is causing you problems?

What value are you using for DISPLAY? ":0.3" or ":1.0" or
"localhost:1.0"? And in what way does it harm your application that
NSHost gets automatically set? What value does it get set to?
I would expect that having NSHost set to something like "localhost"
would result in the same behaviour as not having it set at all. If this
is not the case, we need to look into that.

I am not sure, if your solution, forcing people to set two environment
variable to matching values, is a great idea. It most likely will result
in additional problems.
