Can you explain what you mean? Never said it made sense. Just what it is. If you set up a user account they way they say. It will start a vnc session on boot up with that user and that port. You can then vnc into the computer on that port and use the computer. If you try to log in locally on that computer with that user id, the log in doesn't work, and it goes immediately back to the log in screen.. You can log in locally on the machine with a different user that doesn't have the vnc setup, and you can then use the vncviewer to connect to the same machine with that user? Seems to solve the problem of running a local and vnc gnome session at the same time, the solution is that you can only do one or the other. Even if you want to run the vnc with a different desktop.. That is what I found... If someone finds different. > > > Never got a clear answer on why they seem to think this is necessary, > > and who is pushing it.
