Accessing the desktop is only useful to show someone how to do something. There is much more that can be done on remote X sessions.
I have found there isn't even a need to remote the whole desktop. I have been helping someone remotely, and though i am not connecting to :0, I am able, via ssh -X (twice actually since I am helping on an internal to his LAN machine) to open an X application, i.e. xcdroast and konqueror, which open as just the app on my KDE desktop. I would assume it would take less bandwidth to just display an app vs the whole desktop. I'm sure there is more functionality available than I know, I keep learning all the time. ;-) -- Joe Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
