Mike- Yeah, I like that too -- but haven't given it much thought. I mean, I leave X running and Cntl-F down to th console and when I go back to X things are as they were when I left. Same if I connect with VNC. The announcement is puzzling; first they say it works with VNC -- and at the bottom it says they are still working on persistence and reconnection. Maybe by the latter they mean that VNC now provides the persisence and reconnection but they hope to implement that on the NX alone in the future. Does that make sense to you? -Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
