Re: W2K Terminal Services and multiple users running X

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Joel,

Each user needs a unique display number, which is specified as N in the 
following:

XWin :N

Such as:

XWin :0 (default display zero)
XWin :1 (display one)

You can either hard-code these in startup scripts for each user, or you 
can help us with the feature that automatically assigns display 
numbers... but the true difficulty in that is communicating the assigned 
display number back to the shell from which XWin was launched so that X 
programs can know the correct display to connect to.
