[TriLUG] Lightweight X Desktop

[bak]

This is exactly the reason that I stopped using NX. I'd leave my desktop 
logged in, and log in via NX, and Gnome would get extremely confused 
about where to play sounds, where all my toolbars went, etc. Short of 
rolling out another user just in order to use NX, I didn't see a way 
around this. Really I'd just like it to publish applications a la Citrix 
-- Banshee, RSS reader, etc.
