Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-30
Severity: normal
I had a pretty nice setup going on multiple machines, where gdm would
manage a bunch vnc4 servers and provide a full gnome session on them,
i. e. one could connect to one of the VNC displays without a password
and would be presented with a regular gdm login.
Thus some Windows machines were successfully degraded to little more
than thin clients, but ages ago (~ April 2008) this broke after a
largeish Gnome update.
My initial bug report on the issue
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476802
was mistakenly closed after some (possibly unrelated) issue had been
fixed and the follow-up report
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481030
did not garner much interest on the Gnome side of Debian it
seems.
Since the breakage we get a few messages saying that
gnome-settings-daemon couldn't be started and themes etc don't work
anymore. Sometimes another message will say that the session will be
restarted because it had only lasted 10 seconds. That's not true, the
session is running fine - until you click OK on that dialog at which
point the session crashes ... Workaround: move the dialog to another
desktop and don't click OK ... :)
I'd really like to see this sad state of affairs remedied for
lenny. Please advise as to what I can do to help.
Cheers,
C.
