The following is from kuester@zdv.uni-tuebingen.de. AbiWord is the only
application on the system that gives the following error. We are at a bit
of a loss as to what is going on, and was hoping someone on the list might
have some ideas.

-----
On Suse 5.3 and with the static version of the current 0.7.1 tar file (as with
the 0.7 version) AbiWord gives the following error message when trying to
start
up while redirecting the output to another machine to the one on which AbiWord
is running: _X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't get address for xx.yy.zz.de:0.0
Gtk warning: Cannot open display: xx.yy.zz.de:0.0
When replacing the address with the correct IP number the software starts as
it should.

An strace is available in the bug report at
http://www.abisource.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=470

Does anyone have any clues as to what to try?
