I have no idea what "modern personal desktop" means to you.  For me, it 
mostly means something that can run the NX client to connect to my

I want desktop applications.  I just don't want to be limited to one 
user at a time running them, or forced to be at any particular location 
relative to where they run, or to have to stay in one place after 
starting a session.
