 However, I have repeatedly encountered what I consider to be a rather
strange problem with Debian Testing.  Installation of Testing in a
VirtualBox proceeds without any problems, but every time that I install a
new application VirtuaBox crashes when I attempt execution

 Thanks in advance.

Just a guest. Do you have enough free space in the host to allow virtual

 By Emilio’s quoting some
 paragraphs became endless lines, so the
 quotation sign is only at the beginning of the paragraph. It becomes
 readable without line wrapping and it's comfortable to scroll using mice
 with horizontal wheels.

 Emilio, it's common practise to break a line after around 72 chars, IIRC
 allowed are 80 chars. Don't quote whole messages, only what's needed,
 IOW next time at least cut the signature of the mail you're quoting.

Sorry for the bad posting.

I was using Android's Gmail client which I'm not familiar with.

 Thanks, done.



 Your xstartup script tries to execute non-installed 'gnome-session'.
 Try replacing 'gnome-session' with '/etc/X11/Xsession',


 Huge steps forward following your suggestion.  Working remote desktop
achieved, but 'not' the same desktop as hosted on the attached screen.
 Differences are screen resolution, and application windows.

 Had to use slightly different layout compared to your suggestion, maybe
this /home/ward/.vnc/xstartup is still is not quite correct:

 #!/bin/sh

 # Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
 #unset SESSION_MANAGER
 #exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

  ## Those had been uncommented, but did not provide usable screen  ##
 

 [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ]  exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
 [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ]  xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
 xsetroot -solid grey
 vncconfig -iconic 
 x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title $VNCDESKTOP
Desktop 
 x-window-manager 

 # added by user following a post on Debian Users list
 /etc/X11/Xsession


 X could not detect the attached screen because its cable is switched
across a KVM which seems to destroy the EDID information; I'd already
manually configured a Modeline for 1440x900.  (This works fine on the
attached screen even through the KVM.)  The remote desktop appears to be
4x3 shape, and something closer to 800x600, I would guess.  Though XFCE
'settings' does allow the display resolution to be checked/changed using
the keyboard and attached screen, on the remote desktop XFCE - instead -
does not and complains that RandR is version 1.1, not v1.2 .  No such
complaint on the physical desktop.  Very odd; I wonder if this means that
the Xsession being used for the remote is not the same as the Xsession
being used for the physical user session?  I'll look deeper into logs; it
might also explain why applications that the user is running do not show up
on the remote desktop.

 I've left vnc4server installed.  If I don't get anywhere with logs I'll
try replacing it with tightvnc.

 Reco, much obliged, that was a helpful post.

 regards, Ron

I think what you are looking for is x11vnc which allows you to view local
session by vnc
