Hello, Ola! The parts of the file after the 'exec' line are never executed. I should have pointed out that my working xstarted opts for the 'regular desktop session' by uncommenting the 3 lines at the beginning. Those lines are, by default, commented out and xstartup only executes an xterm.
The package version would probably look like this: #!/bin/sh # Insure clipboard transfer no matter what vncconfig -iconic & # Uncomment the following three lines for normal desktop: # unset SESSION_MANAGER # unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS # exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & x-window-manager &
