I am trying to autologin to a kde desktop and then share that desktop with a
Windows PC using the VNC Java client. (I recognize the potential security
issues in doing this).

If I start RH7.3 in init 3 and manually log on I can run vncserver to
establish a kde desktop and then run xinit to start vncviewer to display the
desktop locally (display :0).

The Windows PC can then use port 5801 to access the desktop from Internet
Explorer.

But I cannot figure out how to automatically start this environment without
manually logging on first.

It appears that in Red Hat the only way to autologin the kde desktop is with
kdm.  Ive modified the kdm Xservers file (/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers) to start
Xvnc on display 1 instead of starting X on display 0.  But when I do that
kdm 3 never appears to completely initialize.  The task list shows
kdm-config running, rather than kdm-greeting, which is normally what shows
up once X is started.

Could someone please tell me how to autologin into kde with Xvnc?  I dont
really need kdm.  I just need to start Xvnc (with kde) and X with vncviewer
under a non-root userid without having to manually login to mingetty and run
vncserver and xinit.

Thanks.
