I am trying to run "Explorer" remote from an HP710 with
HP-UX 8.07. "Explorer" is installed on a Personal Iris (hostname "sgi").
DISPLAY and permissions seem properly set.

While working perfect locally and to some extend successfully when used 
remote from a Sun, it does the following on the HP: 

Three windows would pop up, but close again immediately.  
Theese are the messages, that I get (I assume the warnings
not to be relevant to the problem):

Does anyone experience a similar problem or have any suggestions?
