Adam, just to clarify: We've modified the xstartup file and can startup any desktop we want to via your method. Currently we prefer icewm so that's what we typically use.
We also have used the script as defaulted and it also will change desktops. However, in order for the script to properly work, we had to install switchdesk and then indicate which desktop we want by user and then we had to reboot the VM. Whenever we then attached to the vncserver, we get the desktop thusly selected. If we just log the user out, and indicate which desktop we want at the graphical login screen, the vnc session remains whatever it was previously. I believe that we could change this behavior by restarting X, but that's problematic in a VM. When I tried to do that in a VM from the virt-manager console, I killed X on the physical machine and then had to restart it on the physical machine. This is probably just some peculiarity of the VM and virt-manager, virtviewer, etc. I was just trying to point out the process. We're perfectly happy that we can control which desktop we get by 2 different methods now. Can you let me know what changes are in .90-0.5 and if we should update to this in our lab? Also, will the released version of Fedora 11 have the version 1.0 of tigervnc and if so, what are the changes there? I've been carefully following the discussions on the developers mailing list, but I'm not sure I have seen exactly what is planned for and when. Thanks very much!

As written on http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00013.ht ml Darrell changed this default xstartup file to start "heavy-weight" desktop by default. If you would like to start "light-weight" desktop (twm, icewm, fluxbox etc) then you have to tune your xstartup appropriately. When you modify it then it won't be overriden in future. Could you please try tune your xstartup as I suggested on http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00018.ht ml, please?: $ cat xstartup #!/bin/sh vncconfig -iconic & [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey twm & It will start really light weight desktop for you (you can try substitute twm by your favourite WM). > Also note that I've confirmed that the windows tightvnc client works > properly with tigervnc 0.90-0.3 and not with 0.90-0.4.
