Re: VNC Causes Exception In Borland App.

hink it has to be a piticular problem with Borland Delphi. If the VNC programmers could figure this problem out and fix it, many many people would switch to VNC because this is a problem for all Delphi apps I bet, but this is NOT their fault. Greg Breland On Tue, 2002-02-12 at 11:53, J

This is a KDE problem. KDE does not operate correctly with multiple instances running as the same person. I am not sure if this has been fixed or not, but I had the same problem around the RH 7.0 timeframe. How about running the VNC session as someone other than root. Multiple instances of KDE

I don't think either of these is a good idea for several reasons: 1) How is a screen saver password any different that no screen saver with a VNC password? VNC passwords are just as easy to set/change as a screen saver password. If the server initiated the screen saver before the client connect

I have noticed that VNC and Win2K(and I assume WinXP) does not detect popup menus. For example, holding your mouse completely still, right click on the desktop. Nothing will happen until you move your mouse at least one pixel in any direction and then VNC seems to notice the popup and display it

What issues with the local cursors are you reffering to? I have noticed an unusual amount of server processor usage when the cursor changes. Even on the server, the cursor takes about 0.5 seconds to change shape. I don't know if it is because of the processor being bogged down or something tight
