OK, I've installed MATE, changed from GDM to LightDM, and verified both are working on the console. I've also created a .dmrc file in my home directory with the contents: [Desktop] session=mate
I've removed the -3dwm option from the vncserver invocation, but I still get the "Oh no!" screen when I try to connect remotely using TurboVNC. What else could be getting in the way?
