I hope I haven't added to the latter. My perspective is from hanging around on a lot of lists populated by a lot of newbies. I see a lot of complaints from people who've just arrived and are just trying to figure out why they have apparently no control over their "desktop." If others aren't seeing this, I suggest they get out and look into a few of these newbie heavy lists and see what I'm seeing. Certainly, "session management" is a neat trick when it works. When the user changes direction and finds his session manager isn't, it's not so neat and newbies aren't equipped to deal with the results. > This is purely from a desktop perspective, my server is not running > X at all and I don't think it needs to. The servers I was talking about didn't need X either, but the client wanted it. What can you do? As long as it was for a limited size LAN and behind a good firewall, acquiescing seemed the most reasonable course of action. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
