Also encountered this when trying to do "make xconfig" on a remote FC2
system under KDE on FC1 on the local system.  Don't see anything in
Bugzilla on this, didn't get around to filing a report at the time, and
can't replicate now, either locally or from a RH9 system via X to FC2
(the old FC1 system is now FC2).  Perhaps you should file a bug.

"make gconfig" is a better solution.
