I am running Fedora Core 3 and do not have that problem myself, even though I use a script with a similar command to kill my VNC server. I can stop and restart my VNC server as frequently as I like, and not have a problem. Maybe a configuration error, but not a bug with VNC or Fedora as best I can tell.

What makes this odd though is it's not every time but enough to get highly annoying. This has got to be a bug with VNC or FCx, or both, considering I had the identical problem with FC3.
