Re: XDMCP on Xephyr?

Arghhh! Think I'm off the bogus antispam blacklist.
Hope this goes through this time.

I was on Dapper when I wrote this, upgraded to Edgy.
Going back to Dapper, Edgy sucks!

----------------------------------

Running Dual Head with 1440x900 lcd and a big old Dell Trinitron crt
at 1600x1200.

I've got about a half dozen boxes, and I run:

gdmflexiserver -n -l

to bring up an Xnest window containing a gdm login for the local box.

Would rather it took me straight to the "Remote Login via XDMCP".

What I really want it to do is put the gdm login in an Xephyr window
instead of an Xnest window. Then randr will work and I can use the
Screen Resolution gui to tweak my real estate.

Would like be able to drag windows from screen to screen, but when I try
turning Xinerama on the screen resolution/refresh gets whacked out and
I can't see what I'm doing, and randr doesn't work, and I've got plenty
of other stuff to do.

Also I'd like the TitleBar on the window to say Xnest@host instead of
just Xnext, but I'm trying to switch from Xnest to Xephyr anyway so
maybe that will come out in the wash.
