can xrdp or vnc display individual remote windows on my local desktop side by side with local windows? I don't want to import an entire remote desktop. That's what I've always used X for, with seamless mouse X select and middle button paste.

> more comfortable to use than X forwarding. A PITA to set up though.

X port forwarding is painless, not sure what aspect you're referring to?



Yes, it is possible to display individual windows with rdp. X forwarding works ok with a fast LAN, it's very slow to draw over a slower link. SSH compression can help a little. If it works well for you then that's awesome, keep using it.
