GUI forwarding without desktop installed
Hi everyone
I'm installing a homeserver running debain without a desktop GUI as its not needed
The box is a low power all in one, which won't have a monitor
If I've not installed the desktop part, can I still ssh to the box and forward GUI applications with Xming when needed to a windows box?
Thanks
Chris

dmxgetdesktopattributes
DMXDesktopAttributes(3) Library Functions Manual DMXDesktopAttributes(3)
NAME
DMXGetDesktopAttributes - determine global bounding box
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h>
Bool DMXGetDesktopAttributes(Display *dpy,
DMXDesktopAttributes *attr);
DESCRIPTION
DMXGetDesktopAttributes() returns information about the desktop in DMXDesktopAttributes:
typedef struct {
unsigned int width;
unsigned int height;
int shiftX;
int shiftY;
} DMXDesktopAttributes;
The size of the global bounding box is given in width, and height. The shiftX and shiftY values will always be 0. The global bounding box
is computed whether or not Xinerama is active, but it is only useful when using Xinerama.
The global bounding box used by Xdmx(1) may be larger than the Xinerama screen size because of information in the configuration file.
RETURN VALUE
DMXGetDesktopAttributes() returns True unless there is a protocol error.
