So I just cp your xstartup to my system and it works now. thanks.
So what is wrong with the default script? I am assuming I need to file a bug report on it.
Nothing is wrong with the default script.
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
fi
[egreshko@f20f ~]$ file /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable
Fine. then why switching to Michael Setzer's xstartup result in vnc working?
The default did not work. His does. why?
For the same reason my method would also have worked.
The /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc which exists is exec'd since it does exist and is executable. Subsequently /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients also exists and will be exec'd and that is pretty much useful only for GNOME or KDE. So.... /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc needs to be modified to get xfce to run.
Michael's is modified to suit the need.
I also modified it, but choose to do it in a different fashion.
Both methods work fine.
You could have also modified /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients to include support for xfce. But, that is probably a bad idea since it very well may get changed on updates.
And this is not a bug with the default xstartup script?
