Using LoWe as a remote desktop client for Linux machines? #1

Hey,

I was wondering if you had any thoughts on whether LoWe would be a good fit for running GUI apps on remote Linux systems from Windows?

It's not supported to directly run LoWeAgent on the remove Linux and run LoWeExposer on the local Windows system.

But: If you first start the local X server with wmaker using LoWe as described in the documentation and you ssh -X to that system from a local xterm (or from bash where DISPLAY is exported) then it runs. You must ensure that X11Forwarding is enabled in the sshd_config on the remote Linux system.
