Hello Stephen, Thanks for the input thus far.
Ok, this is obviously not a gnome problem, I suspect this is a permissions problem. Why? well when I vnc into the root account using your example below as base command, it works perfectly. Any ideas on what permissions I may not have a standard user? What group may I need to be a member of perhaps? Would appreciate any help thanks! Denham > For instance - on a box I'm working on, I have a script that is: #! /bin/sh cd /root vncserver -geometry 1500x1100 -depth 16 -name ROJO :1 exit 0 # End options ...works fine for me - as it stands. ...now I did notice on another box I had recently that Gnome was having problems ASIDE from using VNC - that using it "locally" Gnome was mucking up left and right (logged in as root on that box); but after blowing out all the ~/root/.gnome* and ~/root/.gcon* files and folders, and letting Gnome recreate them, that I was back to having a nice stable Gnome again - both locally or via VNC... Have you done any updates or anything to your system? Have you run "up2date" (not that you're going to get anywhere with that in the next day or so); have you tried checking out what's causing gnome-settings-daemon to crash? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
