ooh, getting warmer!

The only problem is, that when I run the command you gave me the second
server takes over my root window. I'd like to be able to bring up a
solaris login screen on my redhat machine and still be able to view my
redhat gnome desktop. I'm I asking for cake and eat it too?

Maybe I have to go with vnc, anyone know how well vnc would be able to
handle this? I really don't want to use vnc, I would like to minimize the
number of layers.

Thanks.
