Package: vnc4server
Version: 4.1.1+X4.3.0-37
Severity: grave
File: /usr/bin/vnc4server
Justification: renders package unusable

I cannot start the vncserver.

If I execute "vncserver" at the command line the message says that the server
has started but the log file reports an error.  I cannot connect to the server
and the process has exited.

I tried with and without my ~/.vnc/xstartup file.  I created such a file for
vncserver on other hosts, this is the first time I've used vncserver on this
host.

The logfile's contents are:

    Fatal server error:
    could not open default font 'fixed'
    xsetroot:  unable to open display 'paper:1'
    vncconfig: unable to open display "paper:1"
    Option "--login" is no longer supported in this version of gnome-terminal; 
you might want to create a profile with the desired setting, and use the new 
'--profile' option
    Window manager error: Unable to open X display paper:1
    Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display: 

Those font paths don't exist on my system, my fonts seem to be in
/usr/share/fonts.

The system's hostname is 'paper'.

This logfile was generated when using no ~/.vnc/xstartup file, that is the
vncserver placed its default file there.

Thanks.
