Someone was kind enough to point out that the vnc list removes attachments, so my xstartup and a vncserver log are inline below. I am seeing a slew of "gdk" and "imlib" errors in the log file. I'm thinking they're likely related to the problem I'm seeing, but I'm having trouble tracking it down still.
So my questions I suppose are, 1. Is it at all odd that my primary (non-root) user 'harry349' did not have a .Xresource file in $HOME ? Is it reasonable to have copied it over from root's home folder? 2. Any ideas what might be causing the gdk/imlib errors and/or the panel issues and inability to display my desktop and launch applications? Thanks again.
