So, you're saying that although I can run things on my server, I shouldn't have expected to get the RDP/VNC extra's (if you can call it that) such as the menu(items), background, windowmanager, etcetera. I basically expected the remote gnome to appear as a window that I could throw fullscreen or have minimized. Is that possible in any way? Cheers, Warren
