+ It is possible, with some of your contacts, to share your desktop with them, or to start
+ using your contacts desktop. You can use
+ this functionality to show your desktop to your contacts, to ask for help or to
+ help your contacts resolve a problem.
+ </p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>
+ In order to be able to share your desktop or to remotely use your contacts desktop,
+ it is necessary to have a remote desktop viewer application installed in your system.
+ </p>

+ <p>
+ From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, perform one of the following:
+ </p>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Select the contact you want to share your desktop with, and choose
+ <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Contact</gui><gui>Share my desktop</gui></guiseq>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Right-click on the name of the contact you want to share your desktop with,
+ and select <gui>Share my desktop</gui>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ A request will be sent to the contact you want to share your desktop with.
+ If they accept, the default remote desktop viewer application will be launched in
+ order to permit you to disconnect the user that is controlling your desktop.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For more information about how to use the remote desktop viewer application,
+ refer to its help.

+ When you share your desktop with someone else, it is possible to experience
+ system performance slowdown and low Internet speed.
+ </p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>
+ Not all your contacts might be able to support this functionality. It is necessary
+ for them to have at least the 2.28 version of <app>Empathy</app> and a remote desktop
+ viewer application installed in their system.
