Kenan, The difference between the two cases isn't just the user you're running the desktop as, but also the method you're using to invoke the vncserver command, and the command-line you're giving it. I'd therefore suggest: 1. Testing whether vncserver :1 works for root, e.g. sudo vncserver :1

Robin, [snip] I'd say the problem is that you've specifically told the VNC server not to listen for TCP connections (-nolisten tcp), and the -localhost will probably also cause issues. This setup is for using alongside a secure tunnel (e.g. ssh) which you're not currently using. FYI, the
