I want to use ssh to connect to a linux system and then be able to use
KDE to access my applications. So far using ssh -X 192.168.1.13 and
executing startkde after I login works, to an extent.
Both the dektop and the kicker are launched, but they are launched
independantly. I can move the kicker around to make it visible and
accessible and then use the menus to get into openoffice, but my real
aim is to wean my wife away from M$ toys and get her using ooo, there
is no way that she will be happy with having to search for the kicker.
Is there some option to ssh that will recifty this situation?
Most likely you're starting XWin in multiwindow mode where every window
from X11 is mapped to a Windows window. If you replace the -multiwindow
with -nodecoration then you get a single window for the whole remote
session. Or you could create a link which directly starts openoffice
without the KDE desktop
ssh -Yf 192.168.1.13 soffice
BTW: you should use ssh -Y instead of ssh -X because -X does only enable
untrusted X11 connections where some features are not working.
