I'm sure that these both have simple answers, but as I really know next to nothing about X I'm left having to ask here. 1) Is there a way to run concurrent X sessions WITHOUT having to be in an X session to start a new one. In case that's not quite clear, Gnome gives you an option to log in as a new user while leaving the other user logged in. You can switch between them with F7-Fwhatever. But this requires the users to be IN a Gnome session (starting from the terminal doesn't work.) I keep my session locked (xscreensaver) since I'm always tinkering with various security related issues, but I need a way to let my roommates log in when I'm not around to unlock the screen. 2) Is there a way to connect to a running X session. I can run remote X programs through ssh with no problem, but I'd like to have a way to actually VIEW a remote X session locally. (i.e. Be able to access my currently logged in view on my desktop computer from my laptop.) With what little I know of X this looks like it SHOULD work, but I have no idea where to start. TIA. -Alex
