Keep in mind guys Im still a Linux novice...
I considered Xming, but 1) VNC just seemed easier for me, and 2) I
thought I read somewhere that *technically* Xming is NOT free...maybe
just a certain version? Can't recall exactly now...
Back on the problem at hand:
I don't know why I had that loop when I had one user logged onto the
physical machine, and tried using that same account logging onto a
virtual desktop, but now that I think about it, it was on a vanilla
CentOS7 machine (not a Rivendell machine) so maybe it had something to
do with the default desktop (Gnome3 I think it is).
That led me to the creation of a new user.
I haven't tried adding the new user to group 'rd' yet (I don't know how
to do it, I will research it). I hate that a lot of the administrative
functions that were available in the GUI on CentOS6 have been removed
from the GUI in 7. :-(
But my question is, will that really do the trick? By adding user 'x'
to group 'rd', user x will be able to access rd's home folder (where the
shares are located)? IE /home/rd/traffic_export
Thanks a bunch guys,
-Alan

only necessary if you need to see the same destop that the live

But do remember, Windows, at it's heart and soul, is a single-user
single-task
glorified video game.
*nix is at it's heart and soul, a multi-user, multi-tasking, network
based OS,
designed for multiple users to be doing different things simultaneously.
Many windows users just don't "get it" that way.
They assume that the live operator is the ONLY operator, which just
ain't so.
What I do for Windows users is install Xming. I set it up so that
rdlogedit or rdlogmanager looks and feels like it's running on the
Windows box, even though it's really running under Linux on the
Rivendell machine.
Users don't know it's not Windows.
