Hi, I in danger of making this a rant, but is XDMCP no longer
something that Fedora supports?
gives?

Thanks for any hints and guidance.
I have more than a hint and guidance. I have emphatic
advice. Stop trying to import and export desktops, no matter
the system. Import and export windows or create virtual
machines, but do not ever under any circumstances attempt to
deal with virtual desktops, no matter the Windows or Linux
distribution. If you get it right once for some circumstance,
whatever you have gotten right will soon become wrong in some
intolerable way just as soon as some weenie somewhere has a
better idea. No one is more or less a sinner. All are. I
know what a virtual machine is and I know what a window is and
so do most systems. No one seems to be able to agree on what
a desktop is or what its powers are, and that problem is
absolutely fundamental.

WOW!.....strong words! But sound advice nontheless! I've never
really dealt with the virtual desktops and I seriously doubt I ever
will, I'm not that heavily into having different OS'es or programs
running. I imagine it's helpful to people who actually NEED to have
that kind of setup, but for myself it would just be a frivolous
waste of time to even get involved in it!
