Gnoppernicus and remote?

Hi.  I only played with this once for a few minutes.  I used XDMCP
instead of ssh.  Doing it this way meant the only thing running om my
work station was the X server.  All other apps including gnopernicus ran
on the other system.  Gnopernicus used the other system's sound card
instead of my work station's sound card.  This should be expected.
WARNING!  XDMCP isn't secure.  I did this on my local network and made
sure nothing could se the XDMCP ports from the internet.

I haven't tried using ssh, but you will probably need to have
Gnopernicus running on your work station to get it working.  Start an X
session on the local box with Gnopernicus, metacity, and a gnome
terminal.  In the gnome terminal, ssh to the other box and start a gnome
session.  This way, Gnopernicus will speak on your local work station
and the gnome session will run on the remote box.

Try playing with it and let us know what happens.
          Kenny
