You want to create a startup script on the server in ~/.vnc called "xstartup", and make it executable. mine looks like this: #!/bin/sh # Mandrake Linux VNC session startup script Esetroot -b darkblue & exec ~/cvs/pekwm/src/pekwm for IceWM, use whatever path and executable is appropriate. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Good-bye.
