Export X Windows Display to YDL 4.0

[Brian McKee]

	While you are trying to determine the problem, may I suggest an
alternate technique you may not be aware of?
(requires ssh to be installed on both ends, usually not an issue)

simply open konsole on powerbook and type
	ssh -X remoteUsername at addressOfMachineExportingXapp "pathToXapp"
enter your password and voila - all the other steps are no longer 
required....

	I can't think of any reason off hand to do it via telnet except if
ssh is na on the exporting machine.

Experience is what you get when you were expecting something else.
