I'm connecting to a Linux machine from my Windows desktop via PuTTY. I'm running Xming on my Windows PC so that I can remote display X windows applications. Loading individual graphical programs works fine. I can run gedit for example and it pops right up.
I want to load a desktop session, exactly how it would be viewed as if I were in front of the Linux computer. I found I can use gnome-session to do this, the problem is it doesn't load the upper and lower panels. I have to run gnome-panel separately. This is cumbersome because the panels occlude the Windows task bar.
Is there a way to have gnome-session and gnome-panel all in one Xming window?
Best Answer
yes, if you want to. to do this change your xming startup options to open the whole x server in a single window. The drawback is that you can't move windows out side this window.
