I use Cygwin/X to access GUI applications on a remote Linux machine.


When I try to launch a Marvin application there, I got only an empty frame. The content of the Java window is not drawn.


Can you help me?
It is not a Marvin bug. It is a known issue in remote X window under Cygwin.


Some applications (not only Java based ones) can not display properly in Windows if you launch them from a remote Linux machine.


This display error does not occur on all Windows machine.





We can suggest the following workaround to access the remote machine (in this case):


Use ssh with the -Y option (trusted X11 forwarding), instead of simple X11 forwarding ( -X )


E.g.:


Code:
ssh -Y remotemachine.com
