- The most common occurrance of this is that the node name in
- SET DISPLAY/NODE=xxxx is not valid, i.e. non-existant or can't
- be looked up, when the transport in non LOCAL.
-
- To be sure, use:
-
- $ multinet x11debug
-
- to print out some diagnostics.
-
- (Excellent program to debug X11 transport connectivity; best I've
- seen by far !! Kudos to the author !!)
