If you need to be able to walk entire sessions around, you might want to consider running the session on the server under Xvnc, and just running vncviewer to connect to it. I've done this for a small (6 seat) client office, and it works quite nicely, though it does up your server requirements a tad (they're using a dual PII-450 Dell Precision 410 with 640MB of ram and 100BaseT -- interactice response times are quite reasonable).
