I uncommented the exec... line earlier and just now uncommented the unset... line. After rebooting (and restarting vncserver) and closing the firewall it came up just the way I expected it to. Now, how can I configure the firewall to accept vnc connections without turning it off? And how can I get vncserver to start on boot? I thought I heard once that I don't need a VNC client to do this as X11 will do it if it is configured correctly. Is this a correct statement or am I required to use a client?
