I've been playing around with a couple options since Vinagre is broke since my move from 8.10 to 9.04 (known bug w/nvidia it appears)???

I have remote x login working (via ssh also), but I haven't been able to determine how to have it log into my account which is already logged in.

Does that make sense? To explain it a little further: I have a user "myusername" logged in and running apps on my server. I would like to log into that same user "myusername" from another server (via remote x login) and have it display the already running desktop to me, instead of creating a "new" one. I thought I had read that it was possible, but I haven't been able to figure it out yet, so I thought one of the guru's might be able to help.

Thank you very much in advance!!
