Sorry for the resubmission, everyone, but I forgot to change the subject line. From my own experience, that is a good way to ensure that the posting doesn't get read. Here it is again, with headers and proper subject line.

I didn't actually set up Exceed, but poking around shows that I'm using XDMCP-broadcast. Can't find any xdhcp. I recall this is related to dynamic assignment if IP addresses? I know that the PC running vncviewer has a fixed IP address. I am *not* running TightVNC using XDMCP, I'm just setting up a VNC server/desktop and keeping it running, and connect directly to it using the vncviewer command. Hopefully, I don't have to depart from this simple operation. It could take forever to learn enough about access and services from the solaris point of view (I'm not an administrator, so I probably don't even have rights to modiify any of the important files). > If that works, you can setup as on > http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp: edit the > /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf files only if exceed already works. > > > > > I get further problems when trying to exit > > the dtwm (using the Exit button): > > No, I put dtsession in xstartup, as per the advice on one of the VNC-related mailing lists. > You don't specify, I guess you just use `dtwm` in ~/.vnc/xsession.
