I forgot to mention:
1. I've tested it with pretty good success on a "local" display.
(Technically it's a QXL/SPICE remote console from the oVirt/KVM hypervisor.)
2. I am looking into an issue with X2Go not being compatible. I'll
collect more info and start a separate email thread about this issue.

1. I misspoke:
Yaakov and I strongly disagree with Bastien's view that GNOME
Flashback should fork gsd.

2. I will try to help with this also.
