    I'm trying to set up a locked-down remote web browser for Windows clients via Xming, and while I've succeeded in forwarding the screen itself, that's unfortunately the extent of my success. Any help on the following issues would be greatly appreciated:

    1. How do I forward the audio stream?
    2. How do I "take over" a running application the way VNC and RDP do? To further explain, let's say I start the browser on my desktop, use it for a while, and then switch over to my laptop. Currently, when I attempt to access the browser from the laptop - using the same user account - it starts a new browser process, rather than taking over the existing one from the desktop.
