Applet display on wrong screen
|

| Hi,
I am using Mozilla 1.6, with the Java plugin v1.4.2 on the Solaris 8
platform. When I enter something like "mozilla --display=:0.1
MyAppletContainer.html" from a console opened on display :0.0, Mozilla
will open correctly on display :0.1, but the applet will display in its
own window on display :0.0!
If this is not a Java problem, please redirect me (as I'm sure you'll
do). Otherwise, is this a known problem? Is there a workaround?
Thanks

I wouldn't like to lay blame anywhere.
This command might workaround the problem for you:
(DISPLAY=:0.1;mozilla MyAppletContainer.html)
the () make it run the command in a new sub-shell, the reason for this is that
it won't mess with the DISPLAY environment setting for the existing shell.
Hopefully the JVM will get the DISPLAY environment variable correctly and
display on :0.1.

Thanks Nigel,
For some strange reason it work with bash, but sh will ignore the
DISPLAY setting. Not really a viable workaround for my requirements,
but that is a question for another group. Thanks once again!

Even
DISPLAY=:0.1 mozilla MyAppletContainer.html
(i.e. no subshell, but also no semicolon) will leave the current
shell's DISPLAY setting alone, and simply pass a modified envirnment
to mozilla.

If DISPLAY isn't already an environment variable you need to export it after
it's set:
(DISPLAY=:0.1;export DISPLAY;mozilla MyAppletContainer.html)
