I edited the xstartup to: Here's what the file contained: #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & kde &
As well as: Here's what the file contained: #!/bin/sh xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startkde & Neither of these worked. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mithrilhall2000 Sent: April 8, 2002 10:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Question on viewing the desktop Ok, found the file.

I have looked but cannot find it. Are you a unix person? '~' is your home directory. Try this: cd ~ cd .vnc ls do you see xstartup? Should see it this way too: ls ~/.vnc/xstartup Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Beerse, Corni > Sent: April 8, 2002 2:12 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: Question on viewing the desktop > > > > -----Original Message----- > > When I start vncviewer from Windows XP and connect to my Mandrake > > 8.1 box I get the grey screen with the X as well as a shell window > > open.
