Your Xstartup should be dtwm &

But if you look in the archives under
"RE: My X VNC server is working, but I don't see my normal environment
Solaris" for subject line from me you will find more detailed instructions
for Solaris (works on 2.6, 7, 8).

Subject: newbie: grey screen only


Great product, thanks a lot to everyone concerned.  But:

Win98 machine using vncviewer to connect to a Solaris V8 intel box.
All the user joe gets in a grey screen with a cursor.

Everything worked fine at one stage, but I brought the Solaris box
down and backup again and ever since ... :-(

The user root gets the normal Solaris CDE display, with panels for
netscape etc.

The faq suggests studying the logs, but I can see no difference
between them.  xstartup for both contains:

        #!/bin/sh

        /usr/dt/bin/Xsession &

The log for joe is :
