Hi, I in danger of making this a rant, but is XDMCP no longer
something that Fedora supports?
gives?

Thanks for any hints and guidance.
I have more than a hint and guidance. I have emphatic advice. Stop
trying to import and export desktops, no matter the system. Import
and export windows or create virtual machines, but do not ever under
any circumstances attempt to deal with virtual desktops, no matter the
Windows or Linux distribution. If you get it right once for some
circumstance, whatever you have gotten right will soon become wrong in
some intolerable way just as soon as some weenie somewhere has a
better idea. No one is more or less a sinner. All are. I know what
a virtual machine is and I know what a window is and so do most
systems. No one seems to be able to agree on what a desktop is or
what its powers are, and that problem is absolutely fundamental.

WOW!.....strong words! But sound advice nontheless! I've never really
dealt with the virtual desktops and I seriously doubt I ever will, I'm
not that heavily into having different OS'es or programs running. I
imagine it's helpful to people who actually NEED to have that kind of
setup, but for myself it would just be a frivolous waste of time to even
get involved in it!
