I think that would be an excellent 2 tiered approach to vnc. I know that there would be uses for both setups depending on needs. I did find that (so far) using xfce in fullscreen mode has not had the problems I have had in the past with using this approach (using Mandrake 8.1). I still would like to have the option of having xdm boot to vnc (could have user option for that Xterminal and also xinit option instead of local window manager options). Any ideas on how to do that?
