VNC Server Question

[Yang Xiao]

you need to define KDE or GNOME as your desktop manager
In your .vnc/xstartup file

   1. Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup
   2. For KDE, replace "twm &" with "startkde &"
   3. For Gnome, replace "twm &" with "exec gnome-session &"
   4. Kill any existing VNC servers with "vncserver -kill :xxx" where xxx
   is the display number.
   5. Start a new server.
