Yeah, I'd like to find a simple solution for this also. Currently I use VNC for Linux remote support. For Windows remote I run VMWare/Win XP and run Go2Meeting. It would be great to do that all from my KDE desktop without depending on XP. Go2Meeting is a paid subscription which I use for trading so it's not a good solution for others. - Mark
