Have a similar problem with aix 4.3.3 (CDE)
Everything works fine if I run vncserver from the command line
running as inetd I get grey screen if I run broadcast and I get loading and the
everything disappears if I do -query localhost
running xdm seems to make no diff
The windows that does pop up suggests that the seesion is being run by
nobody.... I suppose thats because vnc is pulling the window title from the
inetd line as opposed to pulling it from dtlogin.......
trying the web access again it works if I run vncserver from the command line
but it fails from the web server (first it just gave me a font server error
until I turned up fs, now it gives me a netscape server 3! error nd a document
contains no data error)
Does anyone really have this all figured out on a CDE unix server
