Credit goes to chaezewhiz for posting this link in another thread, but it was kinda buried in there with no description amd I thought it was worth mentioning again. I currently have my WP sitting on my desktop next to the monitor of my PC. This little VNC varient http://fredrik.hubbe.net/win2vnc.html allows me to use my PC's mouse and keyboard to control the WP. I just roll the cursor off the side of my monitor and it magically appears on the webplayer, a lot like a dual-monitor system. You can even copy and paste the clipboard between systems. I have the WP configured to start the server at boot so I doen't have to use the WP keyboard at all. This is working very well for me and allows me to stow the WP keyboard out of the way.
