Re: rdesktop.exe session on an X-terminal?
| On a test machine using Cygwin/Xfree86 one may telnet from the
| X-terminal and establish an xterm (bash) session but then invoking
| 'rdesktop.exe' will not open a session on the remote display.
| 'rdesktop.exe' does open a session window on the console display if
| invoked from a console command prompt.
rdesktop.exe, compiled how? It needs to be compiled with X11 support
to be displayed on the X11 terminal.

| unix host to manage the X-terminals.
A doublecheck, desktop sessions is windows desktop sessions with
normal windows apps? You think that rdesktp.exe can do this? Provide
the sessions on the 'server'?
If so, just a quick thought how come you think (could be true, could
be false) rdesktop.exe can provide and export the 'session' of one
'virtual' windows session to a remote host? I thought it was just a
viewer, and rdesktop.exe is used to see sessions on other computers, a
client, not a server?
BTW Isn't there a vnc-port that does a bit of this? Can do
sessions.. or is it that it can send just windows..
