We do something similar to provide seamless Windows applications for our remote desktops using seamlessRDP but I never thought of actually delivering the remote desktop itself that way. It would probably work for our Windows users, too.
I have to think about the dangers of user error when it comes to data storage. In our seamlessRDP environment, both the Windows applications and the X2Go applications are pointing to the same data store. That would not be the case in this scenario. The applications should keep things straight but I'm concerned about them using the wrong file manager and getting very confused. Have to think it through but thanks for a creative solution - John _______________________________________________ X2go-dev mailing list X2go-dev@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/x2go-dev
