Check out VNC at http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/
I use the SSH and sometimes VNC for remote administration, but it can do what you want. What you could also do is give the "server", the "workstations" RSA fingerprint for each user. Then on the "workstation" desktop, have the icons that go: "ssh user@server | application" When a user clicks on it, it will open a SSH session and start the application automagically.

What I wanna do (should) do, is the user can call his prog via an icon, though the prog is on the remote.machine - except that the prog like lyx or gimp or whatever is available on the remote "client-machine". The user only works on the 2nd workplace, but have all the needed progs available from the "server". I am using the word server within quotationmarks, because the server is only a PC with bigger HD-capacitys, and the user is working on it with his progs - like I and writing just now this email. This configuration should be able to be extended piece for piece. does anyone have an idea, how I can accomplish this destination ? thanks for helpings and glues bye hans
