Hi All!

I have started my remote X session with the following
    export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
    PATH=/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
    eval `ssh-agent`
    rm -rf /tmp/.X11-unix
    XWin -screen 0 1024 768 &
    ssh -X user AT host

But the window that opens up doesn't give me functionality to move 
sub-windows around.. so that when I open a gui, it remains static on the 
screen, giving me no way to move or re-size it. Is there another option or 
library I need for this?

And would it slow the system down even more? I make do most of the time 
with just ssh and no x, but there are some gui apps I have remotely that 
are very useful.

Thanks for any advice!

Rob
