You are right. May be it should be available as an easy option for those who would like to have both local and remote desktops. Our users have overwhelmingly embraced the idea of both desktops that I have included it in the startup of all users. A small fraction of grandma-type of users are taken aback when the blank xrootwindow completely obscures XP. One easy solution would be to startup xwin with slightly reduced sized root window. Is there any way to set screen size, say 90% of the available real-estate?
