Well, given the whole XDMCP concept, I can't see exactly how that would
work. But I'm open to advice on that.

I'm not concerned as much about avoiding work-arounds as just, "make it
stuff work like logging in on the console" when I'm actually somwhere
I'm across a network.

Actually, I probably have some sort of grand vision here, too, but I've
not quite worked out what it is....
