As a little excuse to the original poster I did some research: How about using # Xorg -query <IP-address> :<display-number> from command line? (Mind: you have to set display number to something different from default 0 (p.ex. 1 or 2) if you are calling from inside an already running Xorg). That's a really "thin" client and it seems to work (for me - I can logon to my wifes Debian machine). Greetings Uli.
