Cygwin Remote: Want to implement a Citrix Metaframe alternative

[choice15@gmx.de]

Hi all

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ibsxnet/

Ok, the First Release of this Project  (ICA Citrix Metaframe altenative
Client for X11 with Gygwin) is released. This Project is published under the
GPL (is this ok but the Project need Cygwin Binaries?)

How does it works:

The Logon Client looks like an little Win32 GUI App (Look & Feel)
It connect via an SSH2 connection to the LINUX X11-Server (in my Case Debian
3.0)
to an an OpenBSD SSH Server and authenticates with an Users thadts must be
present on the Linux System (such as root or an other User)

On the login to the Linux System the bash_profile Batshscript was calling
"always" a
x11netini.sh Script thad catch an Commandlineargument (xnet100_hook).
If the Hook is 100 then it Startup the KDE-Desktop "startkde"

Properties: An Tabbed Register Dialog is implemented for some User defiened
Actions, but it is Password protected (password is: qrzx)

Bad things: This is NOT a Full funtional Version 1.0.0 and the UI Layout is
in German Lang
and the Sourcecode is not yet added this Time)
