I investigated this some more. Here's what I found.

Installed a vanilla CentOS 7 GNOME desktop.

Activated EPEL and installed 389-ds.

Launched the setup script for 389 DS.

Works perfectly bot locally and from my remote workstation with ssh -X.

So far, so good.

Back in 2019 I ran 389 DS on a minimal CentOS 7 installation. Installed 389-ds
from EPEL, installed xorg-x11-xauth, and then opened the graphical admin
console from my workstation.

But when I do this now, I can't seem to use spaces in the admin console's input
fields.

Any suggestions ?
