Hi Dirk, Yes, with VNC you get the real desktop, unlike with Remote Desktop where you get a terminal server session.
If I reconnect to the server within a short amount of time, there is only 1 process and there is no pop-up message. If I go to the server after a long time, say 6+ hours, then the pop-up appears and yes, there are 2 processes running. As soon as I say [ok] to the dialog, the 2nd process goes away.

To unsubscribe send a message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line to salive@woodstone.nu If you use auto-responders (like out-of-the-office messages), make sure that they are not sent to the list nor to individual members.
