I have tested running both local and remote X apps concurrently on my Linux desktop in its local GDM/Gnome session. Now I just wonder: Is it possible to run both a local and a remote display manager and session, suspending one and/or switching between them? E.g running Gnome/GDM local on my SuSE Linux host and open an XDMCP remote CDE/dtlogin to a sun/Solaris host. That is suspend one of them without logout when switching between them. If possible, are two X servers and/or two different sequence numbers (:0 and :1) needed, one for each of the display managers/sessions? If possible or not, which options do we have and how-to configure/select remote XDMCP connections to other hosts on Gnome and KDE? On my SJDS (Gnome/SLES8.1 based), there is a selection on the local login menu for XDMCP query remote host or chooser. I have tried this selection without finding or getting dtlogin from my Solaris host. Another X terminal and a thin Linux client get this dtlogin OK. Suggestions to other special configurations that have to be checked/made on the Linux box, beyond this menue selection? Kind regards, Terje J. Hanssen
