Chrome Remote Desktop

_instructions

The remote desktop session has to be headless :(

- Install the deb (can convert with alien & co)
- Patch with modern_distro.diff (cherry-pick what your system needs)
- To support automatic desktop resizing:
  - Works with any window manager
  - Build Xvfb with xvfb-randr.diff
   - Expose as /usr/bin/Xvfb-randr
   - If replacing system-wide binary by repackaging, simply
     # ln -sf Xvfb /usr/bin/Xvfb-randr
- Make sure the group chrome-remote-desktop exists
  (your doesn't need to be a member)
- $ mkdir ~/.config/chrome-remote-desktop
- Install chrome-remote-desktop.service
  in /usr/lib/systemd/user/
  or in ~/.config/systemd/user/
- Enable from the Chrome extension.
- The service is automatically started.
  See the service file to stop it and restart it in systemd if preferred.
  To start the server in the future, use:
  $ systemctl --user start chrome-remote-desktop.service

To troubleshoot:
  - Start the Chrome session from a terminal to see its output (really helpful)
  - Use systemctl --user status chrome-remote-desktop

chrome-remote-desktop.service

Second version, modified according to Keith suggestion.
Tested by adding second mode and switching - worked correctly.
