I'm having a problem running AbiWord 0.7.9 from an X-Terminal. I've
searched the archives and I see others have had problems because the fonts
weren't found but my problem doesn't seem to be related to the fonts not
being found.

I can run AbiWord fine from the console on the server. But when I try to
execute AbiWord from an X-Terminal (called shilo) using xdm I get the
messages:
_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for shilo

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: shilo:3.0

I know little about X and its workings. Maybe it's not a AbiWord problem?
Maybe it a problem in the way I have X set up? But, I'm able to run all
other programs on the X-Terminal okay.

Can someone tell me what might be going on?
