[OpenIndiana-discuss] ssh -X mate-terminal error

[Stephan Althaus]

Hello!

This does not work anymore:

ssh <hostname> -X mate-terminal

.. from an OI box to another OI box.

It works between a Linux vm (ubuntu impish) and the OI boxes in both 
directions.

Error Message is:

$ ssh 192.168.2.52 -X mate-terminal

(mate-terminal:4778): Gdk-ERROR **: 19:47:32.619: The program 
'mate-terminal' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length 
erro'.
   (Details: serial 178 error_code 16 request_code 72 (core protocol) 
minor_code 0)
   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
    variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() 
function.)

It does not work on localhost either.

I did not manage to place the variable GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 at the right 
place it seems :-/

Any hints ?
