Got it :')  You must by now realize the level of my linux sophistication :')

Back to your previous instructions then.

I regularly have either GNOME or KDE running on my server.  We can 
safely assume that X runs and I can log in.  I've located prefdm and 
modified it so that regardless which GUI is running, preferred = 
/usr/bin/gdm.

I haven't rebooted yet because I'm nervous.  I want to look before I 
leap.  You state: "You can
click on 'System' -> 'Configure' -> (enter root password) -> 'Expert' 
where you can enable XDMCP.".  Since you mention "click" I assume you 
mean to do this in X (KDE or GNOME) after I log in(?).  But your 
description "'System' -> 'Configure' -> (enter root password) -> 
'Expert'" doesn't match any of my menus, and I see no mention of 
XDMCP.  Please reassure me that I will see it after I reboot. 
Forgive me, I'm still accustomed to things not working when I 
reconfigure Windows.

Going on:

"Now, save he changes and let it restart the X server. Once that's done, your
machine can be remotely accessed via X11 ... if you're behind a firewall and
you want to come in from the outside, you have to open port 177 in the
firewall ... but then, I'm sure, you know all that :)."

This is where I need cygwin, right?  This is where I do the "X :2 -kb 
-query IPADDRESS_HERE > /dev/null 2>&1 &" from the command line in 
cygwin?

Thanks
