Same computer, same home directory, but different hardware.</div><div><br></div><div>In some environments it's common to have a shared user directory somewhere on the network. Then as one sits down at different workstations, a log in occurs and the home dir gets mapped in at the computer the user is physically at. So one could be logged in to computers in different rooms, but using the same home dir at the same time.</div><div><br></div><div>Or one can use XDMCP to run X11 at one system, but log into a different system elsewhere on the network. Picture running a thin X11 client on a laptop and on PC, both connecting to the same rack-mounted 1u headless box back in the server room.</div><div><br></div><div>Then there is always remote X11 access. I might be logged in to the console of the Ubuntu desktop back out in the office. Then since I want to do something, but don't want to get up from my laptop or carry it out there, I'll just do ssh -XYC to that box. So I have one X11 session running that is displaying on the monitor out there and is running on the Intel graphics card in the desktop computer, but then simultaneously have a second login from this laptop, with program output appearing on the laptop's screen and displayed via its internal ATI video card.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course in the general remote X11 scenario the second X11 session was already launched and running, and should not need to look for profiles to load into the running display on the laptop. However, the first one definitely has that issue/potential confusion.</div></body></html>
