I think this is probably not the correct thing to do in general ... you
could end up with the servers for the
X terminal being the same as servers for a unix machine which has its
own display ... apps displaying on
both would share the same pasteboards and notifications, which doesn't
seem right.
We could add a command line argument for gdnc and gpbs to start them
with alternative service names, so you could
start a server for your windows machine on your unix machine
eg. 'gdnc -Host 172.20.36.46'
and modify the code to connect to it -
if (_remote == nil && [host isEqual: @""] == NO)
{
NSLog(@"Unable to contact GDNC server on %@. Trying any host",
host);
_remote = RETAIN([NSConnection
rootProxyForConnectionWithRegisteredName:
[GDNC_SERVICE stringByAppendingFormat: @"-%@", host] host:
@"*"]);
}
Of course, the problem with this is that a host might have multiple
names/addresses,
so when given the -Host argument, the gdnc server would need to register
its
receive port with more than one name.
eg. GDNCServer-172.20.36.46, GDNCServer-WindozeXTerm etc.
