Did You try 'tightvnc' instead of the standard Virtual Network Connection that Mdk offers (it's there for the taking)? The standard VNC tends to get clunky. I've dumped VNC altogether, i.e. I've no Winders machines and I certainly don't want to see their gui's on my Linboxes! Accessing my linboxes using "ssh -C -X " works great for exporting gui's. I even play 3d games remotely (though slowly) that way. I've got 3 (and some neighbour's)kids hogging the main PC cause of the games, so if I want to access anything (and I mean: anything) immediately, I plug in my laptop somewhere (usually upstairs -it's quiter) on the network and access my app's from there. That's when "ssh" is realy coooool, even runnin xine!:o) Now to find something that can export sound too. Good luck, HarM
