I connect to a server over ssh with
ssh -CX server
ok, And I launch remote graphical apps, ok. But after some minutes I get
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display
And I have to reset the ssh connection.
Added some outputs
$ echo $DISPLAY; echo $XAUTHORITY
localhost:11.0
$ xauth list

I have two installs of python on my RHEL server, one at version 2.4.x (which is the general install by RHEL, updated using yum) and a 2.6.x version that I use for Django as well as just everyday scripting (installed from source).
I'd like to get the rsvg library working for Python 2.6.x. It is already present for Python 2.4.x, and stored here /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/rsvg.so.
My second python install is here /opt/python2.6.
Ideally, I'd like to do this without having to do a complete reinstall of Python 2.6!
Tried to install the entire gnome-python-desktop package and got
checking for PYGTK... configure: error: Package requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.4.0) were not met.
Seriously, all I want is python-rsvg. It must be possible without installing every single package in the world.
I've run this to get what I understand to be the necessary dependencies:
$ yum install pygobject2 pygobject2-devel librsvg2 librsvg2-devel pygtk2 pygtk2-devel
Running ./configure --disable-allbindings --enable-rsvg returns with a message that the only module that will be built is metacity.
Trying to install gnome-python-desktop using the configure options provided. Running make results in an error:
metacity.c: In function 'pymetacity_add_constants':
metacity.c:955: error: 'META_CURSOR_MOVE_WINDOW' undeclared (first use in this function)

This is getting pretty frustrating! Is there any way to do this without installing everything?
I installed a program wireshark on my remote linux box and I'm trying to run it with X11 from my mac computer using SSH. Here's my terminal...
macosx$ echo $DISPLAY
/tmp/launch-f4w6k6/:0
macosx$ ssh -X [email protected]
[email protected]'s password:
remoteubuntu:~# echo $DISPLAY
remoteubuntu:~# wireshark
(wireshark:18927): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Here's a few lines from /etc/ssh/sshd_config
X11Forwarding yes

PrintMotd no
PrintLastLog yes
TCPKeepAlive yes

Thanks for the help!
My problem is basically identical to the following:
Put simply, I have a machine in ubuntu trying to connect to another ubuntu machine via a network in order to use the printer attached. There is no problem printing until I restart the guest machine. Immediately it overwrites the printers.conf file (under /etc/cups/printers.conf).
It always adds the same line:
AuthInfoRequired username,password
I stop cups and change it to **#**AuthInfoRequired username,password to comment out the command. Start cups. Works great 'til the next shutdown. Then it gets overwritten again.
Googling indicates it may be GTK problem and not CUPS, but I have found no permanent solution to date.
Any suggestions appreciated ....
After a recent update (Xorg was updated among other things), GTK apps stopped running in my kde4. I have a Debian unstable, updated around 22 April. When I try to run them I get the following error:
ga@grzes:~$ iceweasel
The program 'firefox-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
(Details: serial 888 error_code 15 request_code 45 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 --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
ga@grzes:~$ gimp The program 'gimp' received an X Window
System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.

I have to restart the font server manually to have it fixed:
ga@grzes:~$ su
Password:
grzes:/home/ga# /etc/init.d/xfs restart
Stopping X font server: xfs.
Setting up X font server socket directory /tmp/.font-unix...done.
Starting X font server: xfs.
Any ideas what could be wrong? Is it a configuration issue? My system has been updated for the last 7 years, so I can have some old settings.
EDIT: I would be grateful if someone could point me to a relevant discussion list or bugzilla site, because I am stuck with this problem.
