VNC project idea request

[James Hall]

Exactly! I'm a little bit of a linux person myself, I run a linux server at
the vocational school I goto
and I like to play around with the remote launching of the apps, although,
being the only linux box in
the pack, I could only launch the proggies to xvnc desktops... which is what
led me to my idea
except the extra desktops behind the apps are kinda messy, so I just wanted
to have the viewer
view just the program, and be able to do this trick in windows too (we have
a few programs that only
run in windows that I'd like to use at my linux box, they won't run in wine!
:/)
