I would be interested in knowing if anyone has succeeded with this before I start getting too carried away trying to fix the errors. When I tried I got an X error (BadWindow).
I am sitting at a RedHat 8.0 computer with a VPN tunnel to a remote network (Microsoft VPN server) ssh through that VPN to a remote computer running RHEL3 (ES) Set DISPLAY back to my end of the VPN tunnel, to my display Prove it works by typing xterm in the ssh session Try running winemine After rebuilding the cached metrics it momentarily (in the non-American sense) opens something and then closes it and gives me the X error.
Does this stand a chance of actually working?

Sure, people do this all the time... About 5 years ago I already tested a 3D virtual worlds game over an internet connection (a VERY fast one, though ;) for short amounts of time. It worked incredibly well (given that it was a cool 3D game working on Wine at that time), with full 3D updates, rather fast. You should use ssh -C, of course...
I'd say if it gives an X11 error, it's broken and should be fixed.
I have never tried winemine remotely, though.

(The VPN should be transparent on both sides of the connection, right? Anyway, if it works for xterm (or my personal favorite, eyes), it should work for Wine also.)
I use it to build/test the RH packages each month. There are some glitches sometimes: - When running Wine on a RH7.3 box via ssh, it tries to open the X-server at :0.0 and fails, but not the second time); - There are some OpenGL related glitches too (during wine.inf) related to the nvidia driver permissions on the remote computer (would have to be more careful next time to take note of them).
