The configuration tool doesn't catch the fact that i have multiple X servers running locally and always wants to tell me localhost:0 is the display to connect to with the client, even though its not... i need to file that. I can start a gnome desktop start vino and then run a vncviewer from the same gnome desktop...and and enjoy staring into infinity. It helps to be on drugs when you do this for best effect. I can start a gnome desktop start a second gnome desktop on the same server using gdmflexiserver start vino on the second gnome desktop jump back to the first desktop and use vncviewer there and get a very inefficient way of simulating gdmflexiserver -n I can start a gnome desktop start vino and then on the other machine on the lan I can connect via vncviewer as long as my firewall is open enough to allow it. I can't reproduce the problems you are having. -jef
