When WM crashes then applications which are started for example from xstartup script are not terminated (so your work isn't lost). > I am not opposed to reverting, as long as the -fg switch is kept. A user > could get the same behavior by doing vncserver -fg &. The "-fg" switch (and it's current implementation) is absolutely OK. I would change the "not -fg" branch in vncserver script from system("($vncUserDir/xstartup; $0 -kill :$displayNumber) >> " . "edString($desktopLog) . " 2>&1 &"); to system("$vncUserDir/xstartup >> " . "edString($desktopLog) . " 2>&1 &"); Note I didn't test this change, just copied the line from old vncserver script.
