Is it always the same application that never runs? Then it is the application. I've seen some variants in this: - Applications that need several X11 extentions that Xvnc does not handle. The application should give a notice that it needs the extentions. - Bad designed X11 applications that are hardcoded to display numbers :0 or :0.0. That's not according to the X11 definition and this must be reported as an error to the application. - Not allowed to display. This is solved by removing the security from the X11 server with `xhost +`. However, take care, now everyone can invoke applications to that display, even display grabbers to grab your output. For details see the xhost man pages. CBee _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
