Version: 0.13
Synopsis: When using VNC from a remote PC, lauching Evolution opens up additional windows on Local Machine  
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Shell

Description:
When connecting through VNC, I try to launch Evolution from the Programs
menu
and nothing appears to happen.  Upon returning to my PC, however, I see
multiple
instances of Evolution running.  Note that other applications, such as
PAN, do not
behave this way.

Is this still a problem with 0.14? There were some tweaks to how these
things were done betweeen 0.13 and 0.14 that cured some similar
problems (though over X and not VNC).
Comment 2 brian 2001-10-21 05:45:02 UTC 
Sorry for the slow response.  The same symptom occurs in .015

When trying to use Evolution through VNC, Evolution opens on screen 0
instead of the screen VNC is using.

The same problem occurs when launching evolution after logging in from
another computer via SSH or TELNET - even though the DISPLAY
environment variable is set up correctly.

This is really annoying, since one of the great strengths of Unix and
X11 is the ability of executing applications remotely.
