Namely I often login into my main account then su to more specialized accounts and do a xhost +/setenv DISPLAY :0 in the respective .cshrc's. Thus I can start X apps from the command line as the su'ed user but I want to make it so I can also have a panel (xfce4 not gnome but I suspect it is the same issue since both use GTK) for them. - -- Aryeh M.

So, logging in remotely and starting up vncserver works. While I wouldn't call this very elegant, at least it works.

Can't start more than one gnome-session as the same user?
I'm trying to do some diagnostic work on my machine, so I'm actually physically logged in, and I also have Gnome setup to run when I start VNC, however the two don't play well simultaneously. I get the message: gnome-session: you're already running a session manager I've never heard of such a busted system where you can only run one copy of a window system at one time on a machine. Man, this nightmare sounds like something I'd find in Microsoft Windows. I searched and found a lot of old hits of this error. The solutions are not very compelling. Unsetting SESSION_MANAGER before launching vncserver only cascades errors down into the various client programs like the desktop etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
