Bob- This is actually more of a question for the display manager that you use than it is for LTSP. A straight X connection is stateless, and therefore lacks the capability to do session migration (ala Windows Terminal Services). BUT, X is also modular and powerful, which means that it can be made to do such things if done intelligently. One feature of X is the ability to have an "X proxy", which is an Xserver that would run on the server that the applications would talk to and which would save state. Then, the X proxy would connect to the thin client's Xserver rather than the applications connecting to the Xserver directly. This would free the thin client's Xserver to connect/disconnect to the Xproxy and the Xproxy always save a cached state.
The latest GDM (2.8) has some experimental code in it to do such a thing, using an X proxy such as XDMX or nxagent. Likewise, the NX client has this capability built in. It certainly would be a neat feature and one of the few enviable features of M$ WTS. Perhaps if someone gets it going, s/he can post something to the wiki? -Gadi On Thu, 2006-04-06 at 17:18 -0500, bob wrote: > I've started testing 4.2 and so far it works great!
