Steve - Yes, please provide any script details that you can.
I think I have discovered something else that may be relevant. As long as I don't logout of the Unix session where vncserver was invoked, I can come back with the viewer (on an external box) and see the CDE desktop repeatedly. Once I logout of the invoking session, however, the grey screen appears. The Xvnc process is still running (I can connect with viewer) but the desktop disappears. I don't understand X enough to know what this means, but I bet it is significant.

That is when I started looking at invoking Xvnc directly with the options (instead of letting the perl wrapper script handle it) (this was originally to turn up debuggin to find out what was going on, but still couldn't identify). I found using the -query localhost, you get the dtlogin and the cde desktop, just like on the console. I also use the -once option to kill vnc when I click exit on the dtpanel. Then loop the script to start a fresh session. If you would like the command line I use, let me know.

Lieberman, Ph.D. Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 2:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Com Subject: Intermittent problem on Solaris x86 Hi Folks - I am having an intermittent problem with VNC Server on Solaris x86. I run the vncserver to start (Xvnc). I have appropriate entries in ../.vnc/xstartup to invoke the CDE windows manager. The problem is that about 80% of the time, The remote vncviewer will connect to the server and the correct desktop will be displayed, however, at other times, the "grey screen" will be displayed instead of the CDE desktop. Also, sometimes the first couple of viewer connections will show correct the desktop, and then after exiting the viewer, the next viewer connection comes up with the "grey screen". As I said, this is intermittent. If I go and kill the :1 VNC server and restart it, everything will be fine until the next unexpected "grey screen". I have not had this problem before with Solaris SPARC or Linux. Does anybody have any ideas why this intermittent behavior happens, and what to do to fix it? I have searched the archives for "grey screen" postings and they generally fall into the category of 'all I get is a grey screen...'. My problem seems to be different in that it is randomly intermittent.
