Not tested will test next. My Debian machine is running behind me in the corner as a "server". I am at my Ubuntu machine. I can drag and drop files between the two. (Well selected folders). However if, from the login screen, I select Remote Login Via XDMCP it dont work (it did once) (But I can see the Debian machine to select it).
