[mgp-users 00932] Re: Problems embedding apps in presentations

[Chris Tyler <chris@global.proximity.on.ca>]

Actually, the hostname should be in front of the colon, if you're using 
TCP/IP; otherwise, it should be blank or "unix" to specify Unix domain 
sockets. I think the other poster actually meant to suggest ":0.0" instead 
of "0:0", but display zero is the normal X server started by gdm/kdm in 
runlevel 5.

Here are two other things to try:

(1) Use the "-ac" option:

   #!/bin/bash
   #
   # xmgp :: start mgp on its own display
   #
   DISPLAY=":1" export DISPLAY
   X -ac $DISPLAY 2>/dev/null &
   sleep 2      # give X a head-start
   mgp $*
   killall X            # terminate X when mgp exits

(2) Use local loopback tcp/ip device:

   #!/bin/bash
   #
   # xmgp :: start mgp on its own display
   #
   DISPLAY=":1" export DISPLAY
   X -ac $DISPLAY 2>/dev/null &
   sleep 2      # give X a head-start
   DISPLAY="localhost$DISPLAY"
   mgp $*
   killall X            # terminate X when mgp exits

Let me know how it goes...
