Hi Thomas.

I tried -X and it didn't make any difference.  I didn't think it would 
as I had X forwarding enabled in the config.

I then tried -Y and it to my surprise and delight worked fine.  I 
imagine that using -X wasn't allowing enough chatter between the two 
KDE's.

I've now updated the config and it's working grand.

Thanks 

Gary
