Today Les Mikesell did spake thusly:
It Just Works(TM) under gnome on a fresh install of Fedora 8 -
System/Preferences/Internet and Network/Remote Desktop
Under Fedora 7 with desktop effects on you could control the desktop but
couldn't see what you were doing on VNC
Under fedora 6 it should work too.
run vncpasswd first as the local user to set a password, then connect to
the IP and :1 after enabling "remote desktop". Though I still don't know
how to connect to the login screen via vnc...
If you're trying to connect to the :1 display, isn't that a separate X session and not the current :0 session?
