Basically I work on projects located on one of two systems, but I may bounce between another set of workstations where I am physically located. If I am handling something that I can work on console-only without trouble, I use sysutils/screen, however some times I either need X, or X would be a bit more effective for me. I'd like to be able to leave a xsession running somewhere and be able to detach it and reattach to it between login sessions. Has anyone had experience doing this? What programs do you use?
