Re: Intro and gnopernicus question

[Mario Lang <mlang delysid org>]

1. You will have to enable the accessibility key in GNOME.
But if I remember correctly, 0.3.4 already warns about this.
2. You should probably not include an IP address in your DISPLAY variable.
At least my experience is that Gnopernicus does NOT work over
remote X connections, it only appears to work when X is used
via a local UNIX socket, so, set your DISPLAY to:
export DISPLAY=:0.0

Hope this helps.
