Re: Remote Desktop : Connecting to a WinXP machine ?

It doesn't log you out, it locks the screen. That is the normal and expected

other user's session and let them watch you. It is a form of terminal
services that allows you to connect to your own machine remotely. Remote
assistance is Microsoft's protocol to allow you both to be able to watch the
session. However, there is no linux client that I'm aware of. (granted, I've
never looked.) For what it sounds like you're wanting VNC is your best bet.

Hmm, thanks for shedding some light Roger, I am starting to make sense
of windows behaviour now, it does have some logic to it in the end ;o)
So I guess what I would be asking for, in the future, is that Gnome
Terminal Server Client applet, handles this " Remote Assistance"
protocol of Windows. I might file a wishlist bug about it, in case it's
not already in their pipeline...
