I would agree... but I can't.  Unless it were practical to start up a
VNC session when I log in and attach to it so that I could detach and
take the session home with me.

VNC is way too slow for that.

Current versions of windows allow you to attach your current session to
a remote one without having done anything special at login time. And you
get full acceleration whenever it's local and a transparent switch to
unaccelerated when it's remote. RDP is also (at least apparently) faster
than VNC.

I really wish I could have those features in X.
