1: better stick to the list, not mailing me direct. 2: No I don't have any clue why it has no effect (but I have some ideas) 2.1: it has only effect for new vncserver sessions. 2.2: it has only effect for the user who's ~/.vnc/xstartup is altered (~ indicates the users homedirectory) 2.3: Be carefull with background and non background in the ~/.vnc/xstartup script! As I recal by head: all commands in there must be started in the background. 3: try debugging the vncserver script. It's perl which is somehow readable. 4: try mimiking the actions of the vncserver script in an other (hardcoded) script 5: search the list archive for changing to KDE or Gnome. Those are just other window managers (those are window management systems but that does not mather in this respect).

However, as a first step, I'd like to use vanilla vnc. btw, I did mean .vnc/xstartup. Do you have any insight into why changing the .vnc/xstartup entry from twm to fvwm has no effect?

I've found the ref to > changing the window manager in xstartup. For the vncviewer script, you need to edit '~/.vnc/xstartup'. (NOT '~/.xstartup') In there, exchange 'twm' with the command to start your favorite window manager. It's just a script that starts some commands. Edit it to your wishes. If you want 'the same as on the console', have a look at the setup at http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp <http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp> . It gives a vnc session to which you do a unix login. For 'exactly the console' see http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/ <http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/> . Both setups don't use the ~/.vnc/xstartup file but they use the xdmcp protocol to get the systems default window manager. > > That, by itself, doesn't get the job done. > > Can someone point me to the M so that I can RTF? > These are points are some alternates....
