 Hi folks,

 I'm looking for some X proxy which can be detached from the

If I understand correctly, you're probably looking for nx (it's in 
portage).

Er, right. nxserver-freenx.
It worked for me on a Ubuntu machine but I've never got it working on
a Gentoo machine. There's always been trouble with the authentication.

If you, Etaoin, have got it working, I'd be very appreciative if you
told my how you've done it.

Are you *sure* you don't want to use VNC?  Xvnc will allow you to
connect to your standard X desktop from a remote VNC client, which
sounds pretty close to what you want to do.

I do. Have you ever used VNC over the internet? It's WAY too slow.
nxserver for example doesn't lag that much. I'd use it, if it worked.
