[SATLUG] Attaching to a running GUI

[Kase Saylor]

Thanks to everyone that replied and offered advice. Unfortunately, since 
I cannot install anything on the box, it looks like I'm out of luck. 
It's not a matter of not having administrator rights (I have those), I 
just cannot install any software due to project restrictions. Oh well.
