<font size=3>I would take all references to VNC out and stop the VNC
server from running. Instead use the System, Preferences, Internet and
Network, Remote Desktop in gnome. Select:<br><br>
Allow others to view your desktop<br>
Allow others to control your desktop<br>
Require the user to enter this password<br><br>
To access, use tightVNC running over SSH (putty) and define tunnels to be
5900 going to 127.0.0.1:5900. <br><br>
That should work fine with no problems<br><br>

I've never tried the vnc module in x11 before as I usually stick
with<br>
x11vnc. It's probably not as fast, but it gets the job done when I need
to<br>
make a small change.<br><br>
