Thank you for the input, Andrew. |

A VNC session starts its programs (including the Desktop, session |
| 4 |
managers, etc) from ~/.vnc/xstartup. Currently, the following is what my |
| 5 |
users' xstartup contains: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
~/.vnc/xstartup: |
| 8 |
#! /bin/sh |
| 9 |
win --fwin & |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Win4Lin actually acts as the X desktop so the users never the *nix side |
| 12 |
of things. This is a good thing as helps dumbify things for otherwise |
| 13 |
Linux-unsavvy users. I wouldn't consider this to be a QEMU deal breaker, |
| 14 |
it would just be a nice feature--one that I haven't seen any options for |
| 15 |
or information about on the QEMU web site. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
At present, I'd probably just start the window manager (WindowMaker) and |
| 18 |
have the user click on an icon to start QEMU... Or something like that. |
| 19 |
I haven't played with QEMU yet to determine what's viable and what's |
| 20 |
not--but the main thing is that it has to be easy to use, so I have to |
| 21 |
hide all the technical and CLI stuff from the users. |
