Ah, see... there's the difference... both at home, and at work, the empeg is about 6 inches from my keyboard where I can watch the visuals instead of getting any work done, so I don't need the controls in a dock applet. (Oh, and I'm not on Windows either, so I'd have to wait for the KDE/GNOME version).
You kiddin'?? That's what the EmpegVNC is for!
Since I'm running windows, I made a small little 'webpage' that has the VNC plugin on it, so my Empeg's display is right on my destop, not in a window in the way! Muahaha!
Me?! WORK?! Never!
Me.
