[Banshee-List] Run banshee on remote X display?

[JohnReid <johnbaronreid netscape net>]

Hi,

First let me say I'm very happy with banshee. I just have a problem using it
remotely.

I have a Ubuntu machine (htpc) with all my music on it and my amplifier
attached. I work all day on a different Ubuntu machine (laptop). I'd like to
control banshee remotely. I thought I could do it from the laptop thus:

ssh -fX htpc banshee

This brings banshee up on my local X display, unfortunately though none of
the songs will play. I get the following warnings on the terminal:

john@htpc:~$ banshee
