-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Are you using the Remote Desktop server applet in Linux or are you running a separate terminal in the background for VNC.
If the latter, it starts up in root, which is why you don't get asked. Don't run VNC as a service. chkconfig --levels 345 vnc off Enable "Remote Desktop" from within gnome. Then you will be connecting directly to your existing desktop, instead of having another separate session running in the background (as root no less).
