Warnings
Although X applications that use the X Toolkit understand
these command-line options, some exceptions exist:
-
You can only specify fonts that your server supplies.
-
You must have a color screen to use the command-line options
that specify color changes.
-
You must have a valid network connection to display a client on a remote
server. X supports several network protocols including TCP/IP.
