On my local Pi (Pi5, Bookworm) I can remotely log in to aother Pi (also running Bookworm) and start a remote program to be displayed locally, using ssh -X.
Thus :
And the program, in this case the file browser, will run on the remote pi but will display on my local pi.
If I am using X11 on the local pi, it displays the nodename of the remote system in the window title bar. Here I have two file browsers running, one on the remote system (shed2001), the other is running locally. And it is obvious which is which :
But if I am using Wayland (Wayfire or Labwc), it does not show the nodename in the title bar. Here, I am again running two file browsers, one on the remote system (shed2001) and one locally. But which is which? :
As you can see, this can be confusing trying to work out which window belongs to which computer, compounded if I have several remote windows open at once.
Now that I've switched from X11 to Labwc, and otherwise finding it an improved experience, this is very frustrating.
Is there any chance of a fix for this, or is there a setting I can change somewhere to indicate where a window is running from?
thanks!
