This should be ~/.desktop -- Watch the period
If ~/.desktop exists, the setting there will be used. If it does not exist, the settings in /etc/sysconfig/desktop will be used.
The file is ~/.desktop, with the period.
I rebooted the computer for good measure and started vncserver from my personal account again. Same thing... a plain blue remote vnc screen.
I then stopped vncserver, changed to su, and started vncserver again. Now vnc works, except that I am running remotely as root with a red screen, which of course, is not what I want.
Since then, I have discovered that:
1) If I start vncserver from the Mandrake Control Center under GNOME while logged into my user account, instead of the command line, it works. I have a normal GNOME screen in the remote viewer.
2) If I start vncserver from the command line in my user account, I have only a plain blue screen in the remote viewer.
3) If I start vncserver from the command line as su, I have a red GNOME root account screen in the remote viewer.
Does anyone know what might cause vncserver to not work if started from the command line in my user account?
-Bob
