I assume the script that it uses for startup is the xstartup script which looks like this
#!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startkde & But there may be another script I don't know about that its using for startup. I know we aren't supposed to use root as the user name. But for intial setup we assumed it was the easiest seen as it didn't have any limitations. Thanks and I'd be grateful if you could correct me on anything im doing wrong. -----Original Message----- From: William Hooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 6, 2003 1:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: how to set the user environment variable for VNC server Isaac Hooft said: > The last 2 days I've tried to figure this out by myself unsuccessfully. > I'm > quite new to linux and was wondering if somebody could help.

Does it work for a regular user instead of "root"? -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
