Hey Doug,

nice project..

i think you need to do some work on the refresh problem to get people to
work with it smoothly, but it is quite usable.

I tested it on my own box.made a new user named win and made his .xsession
start rdesktop as main shell.  Then i asked one of the windows guys to
login and he asked me how i replaced the w2k login screen. ;)

Cya
