Can someone help me solve this problem. I can run CDE just fine as root "vncserver -query hostname", but can't as any ordinary user. I used -pn switch and managed to get listening connections, but no display just a blank grey screen. Again as root CDE comes up just fine. Here are the error logs for each.
