Ok here is a new test procedure. It uses a new user (blank home dir), the attached tar file, ssh and vncserver.
Start in your usual X environment, while reading this email I guess. Open a terminal, and type... $ su <type root password> # adduser test <assuming you dont already have a test user> <type password - just make it test, etc etc create the user> # ssh t...@localhost <type test password> you are now the 'test' user $ tar xf /tmp/pauls_test.tar.gz $ vncserver < type in a password, eg testtest > NOW in another terminal, as your usual user, type $ vncviewer localhost:1 <type password eg testtest > you should now see test's desktop on your screen. You should see an open terminal, and a minimised 'vncconfig' program. Click the right arrow on clip to go to workspace 2. Use the menu to start up a new terminal. Minimise this terminal. Click the left arrow on clip to go back to workspace 1 Now click the right arrow to go to workspace 2, you should see the minimised icon. Click it again to go to workspace 3, the icon appears on workspace 3 ! it has followed you ! can anyone duplicate this? cheers Paul
