started now? NO  and I don't know why.
When I click on 'start now' it says
Executing /etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver start ..
Starting VNC server: [  OK  ]

If you install the k12ltsp distribution instead of a stock fedora, 
xinetd should
be starting vnc instead of
the vncserver init script.  Xinetd gives you a new session
for every connection, where vncserver starts long-running
sessions per port so you can re-connect.  Check
/etc/xinetd.d/vnc to be sure the service exists and
is not disabled.  If you change anything, you have
to restart xinetd.

Thanks for the tip - guess what? I have no VNC in /etc/xinetd.d/ ... 
I'll search
google for the file, copy it and see if it makes any difference.

Thanks again,

Debbie
