Re: X11 window server error

[Jack Woehr <jwoehr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   - The "server" is the X Windowing System display server, e.g., your
   local Linux box.
   - The "client" is the headless program that is using whatever remote AWT
   technology you're using.
   - The "client" (the Java program) has to know which of possibly multiple
   display devices on which host it should be attempting to hook up to.

If you connect to a remote box that will want to "client" (execute X
Windowing code) on your local display (the "server"), for example, from
your login me@mylinuxbox (the "server") to a remote "client" via ssh -Y
me@yourlinuxbox and then type echo $DISPLAY you'll see what the X
Forwarding on your session as me@yourlinuxbox is assigning as the display
identifier for the connection. Type xeyes on the "client" (the remote
connection) to run the silly X Eyes program on your local workstation
display from which you logged into to the remote box and thus test the
connection.

This is how your remote AWT is working. It's using the X Windowing system
to get access to the GUI display on your local workstation.
