May I request that Mageia should package Xpra? It's a really useful program, which allows VNC-like performance for remote screens, with the window-manager integration of X-forwarding. http://xpra.org/ To try it out on Mageia 4, I found that the following will work: 1. Install these packages: x11-driver-video-dummy python-cython lib64xtst-devel python-gobject-devel python-cairo-devel pygtk2.0-devel lib64x264-devel 2. Download and extract: http://winswitch.org/src/xpra-0.12.3.tar.bz2 3. Run sudo ./setup.py install 4. On the server: xpra start :100 export DISPLAY=:100 xterm & 5. On the client: xpra attach ssh:THE_SERVER:100 --encoding=png Thank you for your time - Mageia is wonderful :-) Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
