While munching a sandwich I got to thinking about VNC...
I wonder how much work it would be to change VNC so that
each window on the server machine shows up as a separate
window on the client side.  I know the Win32 X servers
allow you to do this, but we all know that they have 
other problems...

That way Windows users could run multiple apps on a 
Linux server without needing a large VNC viewer 
window on their desktops.

Hmmmm....

Later,
Kenn
