Ah, yes.. I'm unclear as to how I got to have vnc4server and tightvncserver both installed on my machine. :-) Now the problem is that I use the old, possibly deprecated, ~/.Xdefaults and I have a lot of stuff in there. Since I was in a rush and testing something unrelated, when I saw that I was gettting the wrong fonts, colors, etc. etc. I just duplicated did: cp .Xdefaults .Xresources. That's what gave me the idea of the empty ~/.Xresources file. But since debian systems also have tons of X system-wide resources in /etc/X11/app-defaults/*, I think I should keep that in mind, and check whether whatever vnc server I'm running is aware of those.. or maybe they're picked up by default anyway and I shouldn't worry about it. cj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
