libggi troubles on sparc-sun-solaris2.5

Hi,

I'm having troubles with GGI on Solaris. The problem occurs when I try
to
run a program compiled for libggi (snapshot 05/11) over an ssh
connection:
ggiOpen() opens a visual (an empty X window), but does not return.

Setting GGI_DEBUG=255 produced the following output:

LibGII: Debugging=255
LibGGI: Debugging=255
LibGGI: ggiOpen("display-x:saturn:5.0") called

ggiOpen() is called by this function:

ggi_visual_t openVisual()
{
  ggi_mode mode = {
    1, // 1 frame
    {320,200}, // resolution
    {320,200}, // virtual
    {0,0},     // size in mm
    GT_AUTO,   // color depth
    {GGI_AUTO,GGI_AUTO}}; // font size
  ggi_visual_t retval;

  retval = ggiOpen(NULL);
  if (ggiSetMode(retval, &mode)) {
    fprintf(stderr,"Evading to different mode...\n");
    if (ggiSetMode(retval, &mode)) return NULL;
  }

  if (colors_uninitialized) {
    initColors(retval);
    colors_uninitialized = 0;
  }

  return retval;
}

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Or is this a problem with libggi
on Solaris?

TIA,

llap,
