Tim, I had about the same problem, but with Gnome. I went to the user home directory (user name under which vncserver was run). You should find a ".vnc" subdirectory (ie hidden) under that, and in there an xstartup file. Edit that xstartup file. Take out the reference to twm and insert the ref for KDE - . For Gnome it is "gnome-session". Then close and restart the vncserver and with luck it will work just like mama said.
Just what you probably found in the FAQs. However, the keyword wasn't mentioned in the FAQ. This next was taken from a Linux Journal article: Configuring a VNC Server The VNC server also must be running, and it must be configured to run your preferred window manager. This is accomplished by editing the file $HOME/.vnc/xstartup to call your preferred window manager. Use startkde & for KDE, gnome-session & for GNOME or fvwm2 & for FVWM2. Also, make sure you have run vncpasswd in $HOME/.vnc/passwd to create the password file. Hope it helps. Good luck Roger Roger At 11:07 AM 3/26/2002, you wrote: Hi everyone, I'm having a heck of a time getting VNC viewer (running on any of my Windows98 clients) to display my KDE desktop on my FreeBSD machine. It displays twm just fine, but not KDE. I've followed the steps outlined at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/UTCS/online-docs/Xvnc_docs/faq.html Q21. I've also tried making the ~/.vnc/xstartup a symlink to ~/.xinitrc, which of course has the entry startkde. Neither of these steps seem to beworking for me, VNC just ignores the xstartup script from what I can see. I don't see any error messages, or obvious problem in my vnc logfile either. Anyone have any suggestions?
