Seems that /usr/sbin/vncsession calls then xfce4-session. I don't have an xfce-session command on my machine.
This is at odds with the HOWTO in the tigervnc-server package, which states: ===================================================== ### Note: There is one important option you need to set and that option is the session you want to start. E.g when you want to start GNOME desktop, then you have to use “` session=gnome “`which should match the name of a session desktop file from `/usr/share/xsessions` directory.
===================================================== And here's what I have: # ls /usr/share/xsessions gnome.desktop gnome-xorg.desktop xfce.desktopThat's where "session=xfce" came from. So I changed it to xfce4. This time it started. No wanting to believe my luck I connected with vncviewer...
... and I ended up looking at Gnome's login screen. The invalid "session=xfce4" setting was ignored, and the session defaulted to Gnome.
So, it's true that one can be logged into an XFCE desktop and be able to start a Gnome VNC session. But that does me no good.
