I am trying to get vnc working on my linux dstro, i downloaded vnc 3.3.4, and can connect fine with the default settings... the issue is, i'd like to be able to view my gnome desktop, i tried modifying my xstartup file in ~/.vnc/ to conatain gnome-session &... but when i connect i get merely a blank screen, and the log says "gnome-session: you're already running a session manager" ??

I am having the same problem and have been completely unsuccesful in solving it. If anyone has any ideas they would be most welcome. The xtartup script in the .vnc directory holds: #!/bin/sh [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources # Create a grey background for the client window xsetroot -solid grey # Launch a terminal window described as follows: xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & exec gnome-session &

I am experiencing the same problem. I can start the kde desktop (kdesktop) without any problems however the bottom menu bar isn't present but I'll find the executable for it. This means it is a gnome issue. Where/what setting do you change to run multiple gnome sessions? My xstartup contains: #!/bin/sh gnome-session & Thanks in advance for the help.
