Monitors take space. XDMCP used to work well, but it's been pretty much useless in KDE on openSUSE 12.x. Hopefully, it will be fixed in 13.x. It's beyond belief that something that's long been a feature on Unix/Linux can be broken for so long, despite bug reports.
---- Use of REMOTEHOST and DISPLAY as set in an "auth" module goes back 20 years, but Suse broke that to use with their non-standard session support. When pointed out in a bug report, that they had broken the original usage of it -- they said such usage was no longer supported.
Even running multiple desktops is broken. You can no longer start another desktop session and reliably use it. One unbelievably stupid problem that occurred a while ago was you couldn't even click on an availble XDMCP connection, because as soon as you moved the mouse, the menu would close. XDMCP worked well in 11.4, but it's been unusable since then. Perhaps the developers should take a look at what works, before they break things with new "features". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
