Thanks for examples, I though a good job , is replace /usr/bin/Xvfb /usr/bin/xvfb-run transparently . Other subject is vnc any replacement for x11vnc and x2vnc, I am worried about applications which use code of X11 like this two: x11vnc-0.9.13-1.fc16.x86_64 rpm -qi x2vnc-1.7.2-12.fc15.x86_64 Name : x2vnc License : GPLv2+ URL : http://fredrik.hubbe.net/x2vnc.html Summary : Dual screen hack for VNC Description : This program will let you use two screens on two different computers as if they were connected to the same computer even if one computer runs Windows.
