I think I phrased it badly.  I meant accessing an FC14 system from (ie 
using a remote desktop client on) 'some other' workstation.

On FC13 we use vino to serve the FC13's own desktop to some other 
workstation; I 'think' vino was in FC13 already.  Had difficulty 
setting up vnc-server, and then found vino which we found easier to 
use.  We were new to Fedora at the time.

The FC13 system is the server running vino, some other VNC-protocol 
workstation (Windows, or Linux) can use the FC13 system.

rdesktop seems to be the client (not the server) and I thought remmina 
was, also.
