Starting gnome-session in a VNC session is impossible if it's already running on the console. I can run gnome-panel on the VNC session, but that has lots of problems -- for example, the desktop switcher refuses to appear in the VNC session, and a panel that I have on the bottom-right corner of the (1024x768) screen in the VNC session makes the same panel on the (much bigger) console screen hop over to the same position which is now in the middle of the screen. Is there any sane solution for this? -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://www.barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!
