	Yup! For R2.

	I want to include this feature in R2's app_server, but, ATM I am not 
documented on how this could be done.
	Have a couple ideas (none of them involve copying off-screen images to 
the remote desktop!), yet I don't know exactly how to do that. A few 
days ago I saw that the newest KDE version implemented the RDP Microsoft 
uses. Maybe they had a good reason - have to look at it.

	Yup! This seems to be the main idea. However things are a little more 
complicated than they appear.

	I was going to that by myself, but I have to look at RDP/VNC/X first.
