Ben: You were right. Thanks. One other related question. If I log out my VNC session from X, it won't restart. I can drop a VNC connection and resume it, but if I logout is there anyway to restart this without restarting the vncserver service (assuming I have other ssh or telnet access since I'm now dead)?

The other thing you need to do is to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to look something like: #!/bin/sh # Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc Then restart your vnc server (probably with 'service vncserver restart') That should fix the problem.
