It's designed to run as -
One copy of gdnc and one copy of gpbs per workspace.

We do not currently support multiple workspaces on one host - where you 
have multiple
X windows displays feeding to one physical screen and can switch between 
them, we can
consider this to be a single workspace.
The case we don't allow for is where you have multiple separate physical 
workstations
used by diofferent users but handled by one machine and sharing a common 
hostname.
I think that's too rare to spend time on supporting.

For the case where your display is being handled by a machine which does 
not have
GNUstep running on it (eg a dumb X terminal), you can run copies of gdnc 
and gpbs
on any GNUstep machine on your network, supplying a -NSHost argument 
with the name
of the machine handling the display, and theat GNUstep machine should 
act on behalf
of the dumb display.


gdnc can be started at system boot time (after gdomap)

gpbs should really be started when your X server is started.
