I finally tested it yesterday, you were right that I was misinformed about how X actually works. What I did is quite easy: I have a full blown X Server on the host machine Customer connects to it using vnc You can now simply open a shell on the Desktop, tweak X auth (xhost +) and than change into the guest using "vserver guest enter". Now setting the DISPLAY to <public ip>:0 and installing just some X client libraries inside the guest does the job... Oliver - -- Protect your environment - close windows and adopt a penguin!
