I then installed Redhat 8.0 and downloaded the newer version of VNC Server installing the RPM. Now I can only get the twm desktop. A grey screen and single XTERM.

The approached used by the packages provided with Redhat use: #!/bin/sh # Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc This way if you decided to change WM using the Redhat tools, your VNC server gets the changes. Also, are you running a graphical desktop using the same user as you are trying to run the VNC server? Gnome has (previously discussed here) issues running two desktops as the same user. Providing the log file might help troubleshoot. -- William Hooper Finally, a good use for Clippy! "I see you're trying to email a program to every member of your Outlook Address book.
