[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44174] Remote X-Window display: command window blank, all other windows fine

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #44174 (project octave):

There is an acceptable workaround so I'm not going to require that this be
fixed ahead of the 4.0 release
(http://wiki.octave.org/Bug_Fix_List_-_4.0_Release).

Other things you might play with, is it just a color issue of white text on
white background?  You might try changing the preferences for colors in the
Terminal tab of File->Preferences.

There might also be some environment variable about the terminal that needs to
get set when running cross-platform.  For instance, the TERM variable seems to
be forwarded from the client to the server.  But that won't work well if your
client is a Mac and has a terminal like aquaterm.  The Linux server wants
something like xterm or vt100.
