Dear Mr Turney, Solution #1 solved my problem: I added this option when launching the X server and it works, thank you. > 1.

I saw this on the announcement, but I didn't try it since I was sure not to be in that remote case : I was running it locally. Although I do not understand why it is now working, anyway, I am now able to do what I needed to. Sorry for not having tried this solution before asking for help.
