yep.  i've already tried both cases of root usage.  in either case i
_can_ login @ ssh, but _not_ via Gnome Login.

nope. it's an english/us keyboard, and the username & password are all
ascii chars.

the keyboard, vnc viewer, and password are all used in other VNC
connects, both standalone and Xen DomU without any problem.

per your suggestion,

login as myuser
start vncserver
  set 'password'

cat  /export/home/myuser/.vnc/xstartup
 #!/bin/sh
 [ -r \$HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb \$HOME/.Xresources
 xsetroot -solid grey
 vncconfig -iconic &
 xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "\$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
 exec /usr/bin/dtstart jds

restart vncserver
connect via VNC viewer

successfully @ desktop!

so, this is clearly an option.

still, though, doesn't explain why Gnome Login manager refuses ... :-/

thanks.
