[QUOTE="Suiname, post: 931785, member: 129014"] Thanks for your input, you confirmed my suspicions. I have already setup vnc for remote desktop, though I have to say with my DSL connection at home it is not ideal for accessing remotely via VNC (a bit slow and sluggish sometimes). That's why I was wondering if there was a better way, X11 is pretty awesome since it only sends the active window, not the entire desktop, but it makes sense that it won't be able to send non-X windows, which unfortunately is everything I would want to run anyways. I'll stick with vnc and try to tweak the settings to get it working more to my liking. [/QUOTE]
