[vtkusers] Can't interact remotely with binary from Cone.cxx

[Tom G. Smith (Smitty)]

Hello vtkusers,

I just installed VTK 4.0.2, and you may've seen the problem I posted
about getting Tcl scripts to work.  I'm having a similar problem with
C++ files.  I compile Cone.cxx with these commands:

	mkdir Cone; cd Cone
	cp /contrib/vtk/VTK/Examples/Tutorial/Step1/Cxx/Cone.cxx .
	vtkbuildmake Cone # Builds CMakeLists.txt, listed below, runs cmake.
	make

It compiles clean, but when I run it remotely I get the same error as
with Tcl scripts (Note that my $DISPLAY is *NOT* set to :0.0):

	bash-2.05a$ ./Cone
	Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
	Xlib: No protocol specified

The graphic of the cone displays, and slowly revolves, but there's
absolutely no interaction.  I can't rotate, zoom, move, or even get it
to recognize "q" to quit.  The mouse and keyboard don't do anything.
To stop the display I must do Ctrl-C.  All other X clients work fine,
e.g. xterm, xclock, MATLAB, Mathematica, SAS, etc.

Here's my CMakeLists.txt file (BTW cmake takes some getting used to.
Can't say I like it very much):
