I agree. And I think these methods (accessing the display for local
stuff, sshing into the thin client for stuff that needs access to the
thin client hardware) are preferable. The current "tcm-client" helper
is basically just a workaround because I could not access the user's
display so far. But I must admit that I did not really look into the X
display stuff yet. I am sure there is a clean way to do this. The
current tcm-client package will not be needed anymore as soon as we
have figured this out.
