Then, so long as you launch an xterm on the remote hosts using an item from your Xming menu, then it seems to pass the X11 packets back to your instance of the server, and not to other people on the same TS.
For instance, the normal Xming start-up parameters are like this:ĭ:\Programs\Xming\Xming.exe :0 -clipboard -multiwindowĬhange the :0 to be something else, and you can have a second (or third) instance running on the same host. I found a work-around for this that works, but is inelegant: start with a different display number argument. Except if two or more people wish to use it at once. So, we installed Xming on the TS and it works well. For security reasons (don’t ask!) we can only access certain Unix hosts via an RDP session from our desktops, not directly over the campus LAN.
One use-case we have at work for Xming is to be the X11 server on a Windows RDP terminal server.
