What I what are several menu buttons from different remote machines running on my desktop with programs started from any of them opening in new windows on my desktop. You can sort-of get the effect by dragging some menu items onto the desktop on the remote machines then from your desktop 'ssh -Y remote-machine' followed by running 'nautlius &' in that terminal. This opens a screen on your desktop showing the remote desktop minus the menus and taskbars, but you can double-click any of the launchers you moved to the filesystem to start programs that open in new windows on your display. What I want is just the menu button, though. If it had a name, I'd expect to be able to 'ssh -Y remote_machine gnome-menu' or something like that and get a working remote menu. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
