Funny, I was -just- trying to figure out what was wrong with VNC that it -wasn't- doing this. Out of curiosity, what could possibly be the point of not exiting when the Xsession terminates like any normal X server? I can't think of any possible reason for this. Anyways, this seems a better solution than mine, which was to put 'vncserver -kill :1' at the end of my .Xsession file, and always start the server on display 1! I hope this functionality gets integrated into the main VNC source tree! Ryan > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard L.
