Very Computer

Hello!

I was trying to run xclock from a remote Sun Station, which works fine.
But There were no window controls, borders, buttons, etc.  Kinda like
running X w/o a window manager.  Everything else (native) ran fine.

I'm using RedHat 4.1 w/svga server on an IBM 755CD TP.  I used telnet
to connect from an xterm window.

Did I forget something?

Thanks!

What window manager are you running? If you are using fvwm there are lines in
your local .fvwmrc file (or in the system fvwm config) that control how certain
applications appear, e.g:

NoTitle xclock

It is less likely, but also possible, that you have settings for xclock in your
local .Xdefaults file.

Your local filemanager probably specified no window decorations for some
applications (like xclock for example). I assume this doesn't happen
for all applications ? Check you filemanager configuration.
