Thanks. If you check the archives, you will see that you might need to edit this file.. vi ~/.vnc/vncstartup and put there the desktop you want. On another note.. Why not use native X or ssh -X (X Forwarding using SSH?) It works great on mine. All I need is ssh -X -l User server # xterm & or # gedit & and it'll come out on your station1 desktop. (note: I think you need to enable ssh forwarding in /etc/ssh_config or sshd_config. I forget)
