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.
So do what I did with evolution. Create a script on the remote machine something like:
I think you are missing the point of what I want. I want to install a new remote machine and have all of it's programs available from my desktop without knowing ahead of time what is actually installed there. If a new program is installed on that machine, I want it to show up in the remotely-executed menu like it does if you log in there. X is designed to let anything run remotely. I don't see why the menu button should be an exception - someone would really have to go out of their way to break it - but I don't know how to invoke it by itself.
