Excellent! However, if some newer users follow the guide, they may
wonder why the lines subsequent to the "exec ..." have no effect. To
forestall questions you might want to mention that.
Can you please help with that, 'cause I could be one of those users
asking that :)

regards,


exec means replace the current shell by the command specified. Everything that follows is therefor not executed. If you remove the exec then it will work as well, and the commands after will get executed in sequence _after_ the vncserer dies. This might be handy is some occasions like starting and stopping ssh agents:

cat ~/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
eval $(ssh-agent)
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
kill $SSH_AGENT_PID
exit
