[Thinlinc-technical] control current desktop

[Peter Astrand]

Hi! I think what you are asking for is a feature to connect to the ":0" 
display, rather than creating a new session. We have no such functionality 
yet, but you can achieve this with some configuration and using the 
"x11vnc" software. You will find the details here:
