I know `pkg' has a ton of aliases and features, but using them often enough to remember them when they're useful is another story. That awk code is useful in a wide range of situations. I use `awk' to grep more often than I use `grep' to grep. grep virtualbox == awk '/virtualbox/' > This sounds as if it's an issue with the local X server running or > you're just not waiting long enough for the Qt window to appear.

Since it's on a LAN, I've been using unsecured VNC connections just fine. It's a good workaround, but not a solution. > I've seen too many issues over the past couple years with applications > not working correctly via X11 Forwarding to just stop using it other > than simple applications. If it's affecting that many applications, perhaps freebsd-questions@ has seen this problem before and can suggest a potential fix.
