Okay, this is weird

Post #327,478 by drook 6/7/10 12:22:20 AM Reply	Okay, this is weird Went up to the desktop machine and saw a half-dozen OOo docs open. So SSHed in with X forwarding enabled, gThumb, Gimp and Nautilus all open on the laptop. But all OOo apps open on the desktop. Strange. -- Drew
