vnc

[Susan Macchia]

And Jerry was right too - when I looked on my FC7 system, my .vnc had an 
xstartup that looks like:


#!/bin/sh

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

#[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
#[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
#vncconfig -iconic &
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &

Must be differences in vnc - on mandriva it's tightvnc, on FC, it's 
plain old vnc....

HTH,
Susan
