The limiting factor is not the destination os but the graphics system on the source. There is no way to export the windows drawing commands via X11. There have been ideas to implement this with mirror video adapter drivers like utravnc uses them or with the x11drv from wine. But the last time i looked into it (esp. the wine x11drv driver) i found it nearly impossible to build it without spending a half live on it. I could redirect you to a mailing list which had this goal too but the list is dead for about a year now after an initial "lets take it on and discuss the correct name for our project and then let it die again" hype. Anyway if you are interested, you can enjoy the silence in <http://sources.redhat.com/ml/win32-x11/> (they've got about 30 messages in the last 18 months) bye ago, trying to stop ranting -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
