I'm trying to do something I thought would be simple, but turns out more tricky than I anticipated.

Here's what I would like to do: I have PD-extended (for now) installed on a Raspberry Pi 2, which has its own display and own audio interface. What I would like to do is to remote login into the Pi from a laptop, and write and manipulate the patch there. Has anyone done something similar? How did you do it?

In other words: the Pi is on my Wi-FI network with its own IP address. I ssh into it (with a graphical window) from a macbook. There, if I launch PD, I can't create a gem window on the PI's primary display. Is that possible?

Or would it be possible to launch PD from the command line such that the PD-gui client runs on my remote connection display, but the server runs "locally" on the pi?

Incidentally, when a [gemwin] gets created, is it "owned" by the pd server process or the client process?

Many thanks!
