Now, does anyone know how to execute the gnome menu button remotely? I normally connect to several different machines and would like to have access to their menus and be able to launch any available program without having to run the rest of the desktop remotely.
I do it using vncviewer
But vncviewer gets you the whole remote desktop in a separate window. What I what are several menu buttons from different remote machines running on my desktop with programs started from any of them opening in new windows on my desktop. You can sort-of get the effect by dragging some menu items onto the desktop on the remote machines then from your desktop 'ssh -Y remote-machine' followed by running 'nautlius &' in that terminal. This opens a screen on your desktop showing the remote desktop minus the menus and taskbars, but you can double-click any of the launchers you moved to the filesystem to start programs that open in new windows on your display. What I want is just the menu button, though. If it had a name, I'd expect to be able to 'ssh -Y remote_machine gnome-menu' or something like that and get a working remote menu.
