xinitrc appears to be an if then script. I am still trying to read it. At least this is educational. I am still new to scripting. The problem appears to be with the default WM (in RH 8.0?) not allowing more than one desktop at the user level. Logging on as a second user from the command line and starting VNC server allows the user connection needed for now. Several sessions of VNC server may be started as root. -- Jerry Hubbard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
