Hi Isabelle,

  I have not tried to run Chimera on Linux with display on Windows.  It 
may be possible by installing an X server on Windows such as Xming, or 
by using a remote desktop display program.  Both of these solutions may 
fail because they do not correctly mirror the OpenGL 3-d graphics.  For 
example, using the remote desktop display program VNC does no work for 
this reason.  I expect it will be difficult to find a method that works.

  Why do you want to do this?  Why not run Chimera on Windows directly?

    Tom
