1) Follow the tutorial from http://fedoranews.org/tchung/vnc/ and have the vncserver as a service by running "system-config-services" Once the system reboots, the gnome desktop is disabled completely except for the panel. 2) Change the gnome's theme to "Crux" - once the system reboots, nautilus will change all of its icons to white paper with curled edge. - could anyone try and verify these possible bugs?
