One of the things you can do is a ps to see what you are running when logged into a normal session directly on the console, but it is hard to know which of the things you'll see there are started by gnome-session and which are started by gdm. > Btw: Trying "gnome-session &" gives me a window with this error: > "Could not connect to session bus: Did not receive a reply. [...]" Weird. That sounds like the error you'd get with no dbus session, which is exactly what the code was trying to start. I just tried to get vnc to start a gnome session, and couldn't do it, so just dbus doesn't appear to be enough. Perhaps some of the things in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ are where some essential things get started? I see the dbus stuff in there, maybe all the other things are needed as well? I normally just run a copy of the fvwm window manager with a few of my own custom apps, so I don't really remember if I ever got a complete gnome or kde session to work in vnc. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
