Hi Thomas,

I appreciate your advice very much, testing and cannot find green
signal yet as [2]. For now, what I want to do is [1], so please give
me, if any enough, advice or workaround.  If information might be
inadequate, please contact me.

>> i.e. how to start pymol in [S] by scripting from [C]

Sorry for lack of information, what all I'd like to do is:
- Scripting in [C] (on Cygwin or telnet over Command Prompt etc.
welcome), which includes login procedure to [S] by 'ssh -l (loginname)
(hostname)'
- pymol GUI open in [S]'s window (not in [C])

I wonder, if even in this case X-forwarding is needed.

Windows [C] didn't have X-server so I installed Xming 6.9.0.31 and
kept running, 'pymol' returns:
| freeglut (pymol): failed to open display ''
| PyMOL: abrupt program termination.

Another command returns:
| $ gedit (one shell script).sh
| (gedit:3887): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
| (returned empty)
| $

| $ grep X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config
| X11Forwarding yes
| $ grep X11DisplayOffset /etc/ssh/sshd_config
| X11DisplayOffset 10

So, I think X-forwarding setting done but not all of 'install X and GL
libraries' might be intalled yet.

Masataka
