I have a user who's been happily using kate on a remote machine using ssh -X or -Y to forward the X ports. The machine was running openSuSE 11.3 64-bit.
But I pulled a fresh install on the remote box this weekend, going to 12.3 64-bit, and the user reports that kate is now unusable. It opens okay, but text input shows about a 1-second lag before being echoed on the local screen. It seems to be only kate that's doing this, I tried text input with remote Libreoffice, Firefox, Gimp and kcalc, xterm, all of which work okay. Kate works well on the directly attached console, and I can replicate the effect on another 12.3 install. Remote kate is unusable at this point for him on any 12.3 install.
ssh -Y localhost, then running kate locally, mostly works okay. There's a tiny keystroke lag. This kind of smells like an overly chatty X session where round-trip packet transit times add up. The network to the remote machine is Gig-E all the way.
Has anyone seen anything like this? I'll post a bug report later.
Just tried locally via "ssh -Y" to another machine and back again to be remote and started kate. See complaints about unfound fonts which may be related. Also experience key input delays which I don't see in the xterm screen. Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/56-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.
