Wow, this is retarded. Epically retarded.

Sorry guys, but all this back and forth arguing and the issue itself.. It really is retarded.

It's clear people want and *NEED* this feature. VNC is hardly in the same ballpark as true remoteX. Ever tried to use remote GL calls under vnc? Can't happen. Works sweet with full remoteX though.

This has *always* been one of the most powerful features of linux. PLEASE fix it.

Just fix it. Put it back. Downgrade, upgrade, whatever you need to do. This 'LTS' is simply broken until you do. And while you're at it, put back the ability to replace your (frankly) *ugly* ubuntu gdm theme from gdmsetup. Not everyone 'feels' purple you know.

No other distro that I've used lately is experiencing these feature cutbacks and retardation, and some of them even use newer versions of gdm than Lucid does. At a minimum.. the Ubuntu team misconfigured the build options. At worst, it's an intentional oversight. Stop passing the buck around on this, delaying and stalling, JUST FIX IT.
