It showed the same behaviour of no child windows with knoppix 5.1 and 
knoppix 3.7 (kwin 3.0, kde 3.3.1) via both ssh and telnet with the 
$DISPLAY set.

However a new release of the application has come out that works 
properly when I run it remotely from the knoppix session without 
changing a single setting.  They have fixed the application.

Thanks for your help.
