All,
I spent some time this am, doing some more testing on what exactly is
happening with regards to desktop switching and with client side problems.
I think I've determined the following:
The new xstartup seems to work correctly, with the following comment: In
order to get this to work within a VM, I had to install and use the
switchdesk utility and then had to reboot the VM. It is not sufficient to
log out and log back in, while selecting the user's desktop environment at
that time. I suspect that the same result could be done by using switchdesk
and then restarting X, but within a VM, that is tricky as what happened when
I tried that, is that I killed X on the physical machine and restarted it.
I think the only way is to reboot the VM to force the change. Using
switchdesk and rebooting between changes, I was able to utilize the gnome,
kde, and icewm desktops. I also tried the method suggested and commented
out the new code and added the lines to startup icewm as we've done in the
past. This also worked, so it appears that either approach works. However,
users need to understand that just changing the desktop selection at login
is not sufficient.
Secondly, I've determined that there seems to be a problem now when
accessing the tigervnc server from the latest tightvnc client, which I think
is v1.3.10. There is very odd screen corruption using that version. I did
successfully use the older vncview that is installed with Fedora 10. That
is identified as vnc viewr free edition 4.13. build Jan 26, 2009 by RealVNC.
I also installed the latest tigervnc viewer in Fedora 10, identified as
tigervnc viewer v0.0.90 Build April 7, 2009 16:01:28. Both of these clients
worked successfully.
So there now appears to be some compatibility issues between clients. In
the earlier build of tigervnc server, the tightvnc client did work ok.
I'm assuming that you're planning to release a windows based client for
tighervnc??
Hopefully the above is helpful.
FYI.
