Reflection X Advantage provides a variety of ways to start your X client applications or XDMCP desktop connections.
A session must be running before a client application can be displayed. You can associate a default session definition with each of your X client applications, or configure these definitions to prompt you for a session name when you start the client. If the associated session is not already running, Reflection X Advantage starts the session when you start the client. It is also possible to start a session directly, without first starting a client. This may be useful if you start your clients directly from a terminal session.
