Instead of psting this in about 4 threads, I will answer teh question about load vnc
at boot the VNC standard way. Why do I call it the VNC standard way? Because this the
method built in to the program. The -inetd option allows you configure inetd/xinetd to
run VNC at boot. The big advantage here is that it also allows for remote login of ANY
account on the server.
>From the orignal website of iXVNC:
"New entries are required in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf.
/etc/services
In this file the new services must be defined: service-name port-number/protocol . In
our case we want to give users several options about geometry's and depths so my file
has this lines (you may want just one):
vnc-640x480x8 5950/tcp
vnc-800x600x8 5951/tcp
vnc-800x600x16 5952/tcp
On the client side this means displays :50 :51 and :52. The display number used by
Xvnc won't be the same; with -inetd option an available display number will be
searched and used.
/etc/inetd.conf
In this file you must add the lines to launch Xvnc, in my case the basic options are:
vnc-640x480x8 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -broadcast
-once -geometry 640x480 -depth 8
vnc-800x600x8 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -broadcast
-once -geometry 800x600 -depth 8
vnc-800x600x16 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/Xvnc Xvnc -inetd -broadcast
-once -geometry 800x600 -depth 16
You must add other command line options required for your local configuration, namely
-fp.
As you can see Xvnc will run as nobody (check if that's ok for your local
configuration). Any number of clients may connect to :50 :51 or :52, inetd will launch
a Xvnc for each. You may use any Xvnc options (some systems may restrict the number of
command args in inetd.conf) but don't forget -inetd -broadcast -once, of course
-broadcast can be replaced by -query {hostname}.
After changing these files you must send a HUP signal to inetd process (or reboot)."
xinetd works much the same. Except that each option is on its own line. this should at
least get most ppl up and running.

P.S. KDE sometimes has trouble running in multiple instances as the same user. Gnome
has a habit of being off color.
