As far as I know neither VNC nor any of the Linux "standard" remote desktop
tools support sound or video streams. I'm also trying to support a model
where I (or anyone else using my setup) can move from workstation to
workstation and not have to worry remember to log off of the previous one
while still having a "complete" experience. Am I wrong about this?
Another possibility that I'm investigating is auto log out from a GDM
session via timeout. I haven't tried it yet, but apparently
the gnome screensaver can be configured to do auto logout:
