Problem in loading program correctly using SSH and X11 forwading
I'm trying to load a program remotely using SSH with X11 forwarding. I have no issue with loading xwindows and programs like firefox works fine. But one software that I use for my work has some issues when I load it up. For example, I can't see the pull-down menus etc, which show up when I load it locally. I also tried different computers and also using Cygwin/X. I'm using opensuse 11.4 though.

I don't know the details of the program I'm afraid but I believe that it requires openmotif.

Thanks!

The app may be using UNIX sockets as if it was a local X, not all tcp. Try it using Xvnc with the viewer on an ssl tunnel. The X will be local, only the desktop viewer will be remote. Or try setting $DISPLAY=full.local.domain.name:#.# so the app thinks it is remote (all tcp).
