Thanks. Your answer to run as someone else is a question I have asked prior to this one. I am waiting to see how I can do that.
I suppose I could change the file in .vnc to run the gnome desktop instead of the KDE, so I have kde locally and gnome remotely. Can you tell me what the syntax for that is? (I am linux newbie). Thanks. Dave. ~~ All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Collectible dolls from http://www.collectorsdolls.com Web design? http://www.revilloc.com is the answer.
