Because VNC doesn't use the XF86Config file. Please read the documentation, paying attention to the "-geometry" section. http://www.realvnc.com/man/vncserver.html > > 2) I want root applications to appear in display:1 if I am in a VNC > session as a user, authenticate as root, and then expect the program to > load in my window.

See my predicament? Sounds a lot like a confused WM. What happens if you are not logged into the console? Gnome has a history of issues being logged into multiple displays at once (see the archives). -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
