Re: [PLUG] Shared desktop on lxde

["Gavin W. Burris" <bug@wharton.upenn.edu>]

Good morning, Carl.

You may want to take a look at NX (NoMachine).  There a few open source
versions, like FeeNX or X2Go, in most linux repos.  The main feature is
a much improved compression algorithm.  And, it has the concept of
"shadowing" a session;  One user starts a session, and can then grant
another user the ability to view that session remotely.  This is all
done over SSH with each user using their own account, btw.

Cheers.
