Oh, man! I hate when my brain freezes and takes my Googling skills with
it...I am a complete blank. Somebody give me a kick start.
I did something with a Dapper installation that allowed me to connect to
the login screen from a Windows box using tightVNC. I could then log
into my account on the Linux box and do what was needed. At the end of
the session, I end the session, Kubuntu logs out of KDE and waits at the
graphic login screen for the next time. In other words, the VNCServer
survives the X restart. Tried it today on another machine, and couldn't
reconnect. I don't want to leave an open Kubuntu session running on a
headless box....how did I do this before? If I remember correctly, it
had something to do with the init scripts, but I cannot recall what.
In Googling for an answer, I ran into references to freeNX. Anybody got
any comments about it?
