So: yes it is.

no, it's not, the menu item is sort of hack and not marked as translatable, not something to push without translation just before dapper

Any new info on this? I'd really like to be able to do a remote login and unsecure XDMCP is not possible.
Is there any way to sort of manually forward an X display through ssh and have the remote session manager take control of it? I'm ready for some hacking on GDM if necessary, but I do need a few pointers before.
(My situation is simple: I have a laptop I do most of my work on (because it's with me all the time) and a computer at work that just happens to have a better display; I'd like to use it pretty much as a dumb terminal.)

I forgot to mention again: I'm using Feisty here.

Try this one:

Quoting possible solution:
usr/local/
#!/bin/bash
TARGETHOST=`zenity --title "Host to connect to" --entry --text "Enter the name of the host you want to log in to"`
#@@@ should probably get a user name too; I don't need it so didn't set it up that way
#@@@ should it do an ssh-add so the user doesn't have to enter its passphrase again?
SSH_ASKPASS=
The other file is the one responsible to linking that session manager from GDM; it’s a simple .desktop file, which I placed at
/etc/dm/

Can you help with this problem?
