I am trying to run a remote x app (xmms) with the command

xmms -display 192.168.0.24:0.0

now this returns

Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

the Gtk I am assuming is something like Gnome Tool Kit (quite likely wrong 
but U never know)

now that display command I use for most things thus far and it works.

a bit about the systems

one machine is redhat 6.0 (running enlightenment) the other mandrake 6.1 
(running kde / kwm)

xmms is on the redhat machine
xmms is on the mandrake machine

each works happily on it's own machine

now what and why I am trying to acheive is to be able to run the display on 
a remote screen so I can effectivly see both players so i can run the 
outputs thru a mixer and mix between the two machines. And also have it so 
that I can run the two music players close to the main Power amp and have 
the displays of both on a third machine.

2 possible outcomes.

1. Tell me if it is possible and how
or
2. Tell me it won't work and to forget it
