Dear Gurus,
Thanks to all those who cared to answer.
1) My first question was: "I can't succeed in opening more than one
X-session
on my station. Why?"
The simplest answer is: type "xhost +my_host" in the FIRST window before
opening a second one.
Stupid as I am, I typed the stuff AFTER having opened the second window...
Other suggested solutions:
- type "/usr/bin/X11/xhost +my_host"
- add "xhost +my_host" in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession
- ditto /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0
- ditto $HOME/.xsession
- add my_host in the "Security..." option of the Session manager
- copy .Xauthority from the first login
2) My second question was related to exmh. With my keyboard (PC like) the
Backspace (<--) key sent "\x08" rather than deleting a character.
I knew I had to set the key binding for "backspace" in "Bindings ...
simple editor", as many answers recommanded. The current binding was
<Delete>. However, changing the binding to <Key-Backspace> did not
work and produced an error message.
I therefore read more carefully the exmh manual and got the binding of
the "backspace key":
a) type "wish" (tcl/tk command) which opens an empty window
b) type litterally "bind . <Any-Key> {puts stdout "keysym=%K letter=%A"}
c) click in the small window
d) type the backspace key.
the answer is "binding=BackSpace"
So what? There is an uppercase S in "BackSpace" ....
I therefore made the binding in exmh "backspace <Key-BackSpace>" with an
uppercase S, which solved my problem....
