Ok Lonnie, ** I don't know about your inet.d issues, thought :-((( **
BACKGROUND (usable thought) Let's imagine I want to show only the xeyes application.- then I would do: user$ Xsvc :1 -geometry 200x100 & user$ xeyes -display :1 -geometry 200x100 & and the for testing purposes: user$ vcviewer :1 and then I could connect from outside to see only the xeyes (and the X backdrop, that wouldn't be shown if the app were opaque). USER FRIENDLY WAY I guess, however that the option -geometry 200x100 can be passed through the vncserver script (almost sure).- then on the users .vnc directory the file xstartup shuld simply contain: xsetroot -solid grey xeyes -geometry 200x100 & this would make it possible the same above but in a more standard manner and with the password checking issues. The first line would also clean the X backdrop into a grey solid state but it is not necessary for opaque apps!. NOTE: Dialogs will appear centered on application and WITHOUT borders (a la gdm display chooser configuration...) -- hope it helps -- Regards, Guillermo.
