I've never done some of these things, but I think it's all possible with GNOME (though I suspect KDE could do it too). Number 1 is a matter of setting up Exceed on windows and XDMCP from linux. Number 2, if you mean that errors from your X session should be logged to your linux box, then that should just happen given you'll be running your X programs on the Linux box. Number 3 is just a matter of turning on auto-hide on the gnome panel. Right click on the panel and mess with the panel propgerties. Number 4 can be done. I believe it's a matter of running Exceed in "rootless" mode (or something like that -- I've never done it so I don't know the terminolgoy). I'm not sure if that's compatable with loging in with an XDMCP session, but it's certainly doable. --Ben
