Hm, okay.

That is different from my understanding that with MIT-SHM appication draw directly into a shared pixmap buffer.

But if that one is in the X-Server it might be that this causes the problems.

-noshmem might work, though I don't know.

What (tested) does work however is:

-extension "MIT-SHM"

You can test it with xdpyinfo, which lists all the extensions.

Sure.

Hadn't thought about it that shared memories could be _that_ way when using remote X.

So, please report back and if it works, add it to the FAQ.
