X11 forwarding - have window showing on two computers.
- by Tim
I currently have 2 desks: one with a mac, the other with a 2 Linux computers on.
One of those Linux computers is constantly on, so I would run the chat app on that (pidgin, most likely).
I can run pidgin on Mac by sshing into the Linux computer with "ssh -X", i.e. X11 forwarding. However, I want to have the chat windows viewable on both computers simultaneously (or at the very least, by entering a command or whatever).
Is this possible and if so, how?
(Also: I know that it'd be possible via VNC or whatever, but yuck - X11 on mac is bad enough.)
Thanks, Tim
