John,
I've tried CDE, Openwindows and Failsafe logins, and they all do the same! Bear in mind that I'm using XDMP to do the login, so my ~/.vnc/xstartup script never gets read.
Also I'm on Solaris 8, so CDE or OpenWindows are my only options (I don't really want to download & install GNOME!)
But thanks for the thought!!
Alasdair
Different window manager? :-) Seriously, ISTR reading several other CD
complaints and switching to KDE or some other WM resolved the issue. I'll be
the first to admit, I don't recall exactly what the deal was or whether it
was Solaris, Linux or BSD, but since they all use X11, it seems reasonable
that you might at least try a different WM.

Since this appears to be a font problem, please can you let me know
which fonts VNC needs access to on Solaris, and I'll try only specifying
them.
I never saw a response to this. So I thought I'd kick in my $0.02.
This all starts with a fontpatherror. IF it is just one of theI am running VNC4.0 on Solaris 8 (2/04), via inetd. My inetd.conf
line is thus:
vnc-1152x864x24 stream tcp nowait root /space/tools/bin/Xvnc Xvnc
-inetd -query localhost -once -geometry 1152x864 -depth 24
-SecurityTypes=None -desktop="baltar-Sol8" -fp tcp/baltar:7100
fontsdirectories
in your fontpath, it should not be a problem. However, if this leaves
no fonts
left (all fontdirectories are wrong) then I can imagine there are
problems.
Indeed. CDE will puke if it doesn't have it's system interface fonts.
The -fp option is the font path. In fact, since it's called with -fp,Since your Xvnc call does not specify any fontpath, the windowmanager
has to
come with one. If they don't, there are no fonts and the
windowmanager might
have a problem here...
it won't use any compiled in fonts, which I've found will usually at
least get you going. So my first suggestion is to remove the
'-fp tcp/baltar:7100' from the command inetd.conf line.
Tried with and without - neither give me any joy. However, having spent time chasing dt & X setup scripts, I've now found which fonts paths caused the errors and removed them.
However, I'm still getting the Warning about "Null child found in argument list to unmanage" and then "dtlogin: received signal 11", which is where CDE dies I'm guessing!
Any further thoughts on where to go from here??
Cheers,
Alasdair
