Can you elaborate on the "little bit of trickery" you found needed? I spent a few days trying to get exactly this working, and found nxagent as shipped to not *quite* be usable. This was quite a while ago and the details have faded, but IIRC the biggest dealbreaker was that if you told it that you were going to reconnect your viewer, but then did not do so within 30 seconds, then it just shut down and killed all your long-running apps. Not something I was willing to accept when dealing with flaky wifi. Which is presumably fixable in principle, but to do so you have to deal with an old and crufty code base (it's a fork of the old monolithic X server tree) and the lack of any real upstream (NoMachine Inc. just throws tarballs over the wall every once in a while, figuring out how to get them to build is your problem, never mind supporting your own fork). That's when I gave up and wrote xpra; the first version of xpra literally took less time to write than I had already spent trying to get nxagent going. But if that's changed then I'd love to know. -- Nathaniel _______________________________________________ Parti-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.partiwm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parti-discuss
