If I’m not wrong, nedit is an X application. So, it requires xphoton. The
problem is that xphoton is only launched (now) on the first started photon
session (it will be fixed soon).
Few months ago Garry Turcote gave me some scripts to start xphoton correctly
but I didn’t succeed to use these. I think I didn’t understand everything
;o).

Correct, ddd and nedit are X apps.

Quick answer, start your own Xphoton.
In phindows, in a pterm,
$ Xphoton :1 -once &
$ export DISPLAY=127.1:1.0
$ gtwm &
$ nedit
any other X applications started (with DISPLAY=127.1:1.0)
will connect to this Xphoton…
If someone is already running an Xphoton as (X)display 1 substitute
Xphoton :2
DISPLAY=127.1:2.0
etc…

I’ll try to explain :slight_smile:
The default/standard/current (pick a term) Photon startup, runs
Xphoton as (X)display 0 and sets your environment so X applications
can connect to (X)display 0 (ie. export DISPLAY=127.1:0.0)

If you start another Photon session on the same machine using
phindows for example, it goes through the same startup procedure.
Xphoton is already running, attached to the first Photon session, so
the second Xphoton fails to start. But your environment is still
set to connect to (X)display 0, so any X applications you start
will display in the first Photon session.

I have now nedit tools on my computer but I have a new problem. I’m working
with a french keyboard and some of key doesn’t work (’_’ ,’*’, for example).
The keyboard works as a french keyboard for alpha key ‘azertyuio’…etc and
as a US keyboard for numeric key ’ &é"’(-è12345 '.
