Howie,
Please allow me to guess :-) IMHO you need to provide more info for me
to guess better.. Anyways, I am guessing you are using SETENV DISPLAY
to bring up the "remote display" on your machine. What kind of OS are
you using (what about the server? UNIX?) If it is GNU/Linux OS, then
there were some problems with the newer updates of the X.org libraries
that caused display related problems. So if someone else is running it
from "their" machine and it works "fine", that means they are able to
"remotely display" IDL GUI windown on their box. So it would "work
fine" for them. If you did update your xlibs (I don't know if that is
the case - I am assuming so- or if the updates after that fixed the
segfault problem), then you might wanna downgrade them (or apply the
fixes, if there are any) and try again. It has been discussed here
before. However, if I am "SO WRONG" then I apologise and please
imagine you have never read this email before. Another thing to check
would be your .rc file where you set your display parameters/IDL
related stuff and such.
Hth,

Thanks rk,
I am not very familiar with many of these concepts, but at least you
have pointed me in the right direction.
