Public bug reported:

I'm using the vnc4server package on Ubuntu 7.10.

When a user runs multiple VNC server sessions (each running a GNOME
desktop session) then killing one of the VNC sessions causes the GNOME
applets in the others to crash.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Modify ~/.vnc/xstartup to

#!/bin/sh
gnome-session &

2) Start multiple VNC instances as a single user
(e.g. vncserver :1, vncserver :2, vncserver :3)

3) Wait for all desktops to load

4) Kill one of the sessions, e.g. vncserver -kill :1

5) The gnome applets in the remaining VNC server sessions (:2 and :3)
will fail, i.e:

Trash has quit unexpectedly
Volume control has quit unexpectedly
Deskbar has quit unexpectedly
User switcher has quit unexpectedly
