Ok - this i already know - this is just standard x stuff where you see the visual component of an application running elsewhere - what i want is something a little different - from my X Window Manager I want to launch a "window" that contains the entire window manager on another X enabled host. For example i have 2 FBSD boxes, bith running X. On box 1 I start X then I start another application / process that gives me my X display under box 2 - not just an application - the whole thing... kinda like a vistual telnet... snip... > Is winX an X server for windows?
