I'm not sure how I could see this happening.  Would you be sending the
display output via X?  Wow, what a hack. :)  As far as transparent
mapping, couldn't you tweak out the "My Documents" folder in the
Windows registry to point to a Samba drive?  (Totally brainstorming
here.)

Basically, what you're talking about is creating your own Citrix
MetaFrame server.  Good luck :)

Later!
