Re: problem with vncserver on fc3

I changed the session for root to :2.  That boots up
and starts vncserver with no errors (and I can log in
remotely just fine).

This being a new installation, I have only one other
account.  I seem to recall initially trying to set up
vncserver for this account, though there was no .vnc
directory in this users home account.  Anyway, I ran
vncserver for this account, and it responded as if
this were the first time it was run, and assigned it
session :1.  I added this to
/etc/sysconfig/vncservers.  The system continues to
start Xvnc successfully at startup, but it only
returns a successful start for :2, not :1, and I
cannot remote in on :1.

I can work with this, as I have it working on :2, and
can probably set up additional sessions.

But I hate unsolved mysteries, especially when it
comes to my computers.  So I wish I could figure out
what is wrong with vnc on :1.
