As far as the $USER/.vnc/xstartup I've never edited it to start gnome, it just does it by default. I suppose you can try deleting the file and have it recreated the next time the server is started. FWIW, I do edit $USER/.vnc/xstartup to change the lines with exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to exec /home/user/.xinitrc and I create a /home/user/.xinitrc containing exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde to give me a KDE desktop. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
