I frequently like to set things up so that I can simultaneously log into the same desktop configuration from multiple workstations. It's fairly easy to set up file access (NFS) and authentication (LDAP or NIS) to allow logins and access to the same home directory. Unfortunately, my experience in the past has been that modern Linux desktop system keep enough state in ones home directory that having two logins using the same set of configuration/state files at the same time is going to result in odd behavior. Does anybody know if any version of GNOME, KDE, or equivalent system actively support such usage? Alternatively, are there any desktop environments which are known to work (even if not officially supported) and is there anything special required to make this happen? Some applications (i.e. Firefox) are also problematic. I've dealt with that by having different profiles, but any other suggestions for Firefox would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill Bogstad
