Ok. On current hardy, the problem seems to be even more about the gnome- settings-daemon's mouse plugin than keyboard plugin. Unsetting apps -> gnome_settings_daemon -> plugins -> mouse -> active gives me themed VNC session already, but it gnome-settings-daemon crashes often when doing anything with the end result of it being disabled quite soonish. Unsetting keyboard -> active alone does not help at all, but unsetting also it in addition to mouse -> active seems to give me a stable, themed VNC session.
Tried http://gentoo-wiki.com/Talk:HOWTO_RealVNC,_TightVNC,_XF4VNC, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122402&page=43, and then some, but most information seems outddated. The only change needed really for gnome-session & in .vnc/xstartup to work were disabling those mouse and keyboard gnome-settings-daemon plugins. -- gnome-settings-daemon crash opening any window: "BadWindow" X error under Xvnc https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/199245 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
