Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-10
Severity: important
After three months during which my VNC-from-gdm setup has been broken
by the font path issue I decided to give it another try today, by
"hardcoding" the font path on the command line, like so: [one line,
newlines are for readability only]
/usr/bin/Xvnc4 -rfbwait 30000 -securitytypes=none -geometry 1600x1200
-depth 24 -dpi 100 -co /usr/share/X11/rgb -fp
"/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
This works, when executed from a shell. It also works with ":2" tacked
on at the beginning and "-auth /var/lib/gdm/:1.Xauth" tacked on at the
end, which is exactly how gdm calls it.
It does not, however, work from gdm.conf:
[server-VNC]
name=VNC server
command=<see above>
flexible=false
handled=true
chooser=false
The server just exits right after it is started until gdm gives
up. The log is not very informative, insofar as it's the same for the
working and non-working case:

error opening security policy file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
This exact configuration used to work before the Xorg 7 transition,
albeit without the -fp and -co options.
To be honest, I'm at my wits' end. I just don't see why it should exit
without error just because it wasn't started from a shell.
Thanks,
C.
