DimDim seems like a great alternative to their much more expensive competition.  Linux users can view other's desktops, but cannot currently host.  (http://help.dimdim.com/activekb/questions/48/)  On the bright side, there's already multiple enhancement requests to support Linux desktop sharing.  I voted it up a few months ago.  :)  Until then...I'll have to stick with Webex....
