FYI
I am not sure if you are talking about the present times, but Mac has been 
able to accomplish this for a while, you can connect via appletalk or tcp to 
another machine and run its gui and such, maybe you werent clear on 
what you meant but this is what I gathered.

On another note, is there an admin of this list serv out there 
reading this?  If so, it's a good idea to put the gnome-list address in 
the Reply To section of majordomo or whatever it is you are using 
here.  If this is not an option, well then I unerstand.  If it is an option 
it would make it a lot easier to reply to this list without having to 
change the address from the user who sent the last message to 
the gnome-list address in the reply window.  Just something to 
think about (all the other lists I am on are this way, it is a nice 
feature)
