Hello World,

I've searched the web far an wide for an answer to my question, but came up empty handed. So here I am now, as clueless as ever:

I am using VNC server on many platforms, but mostly on openSUSE.
Yet everytime I start it with: "startvnc", it also starts the vnc clipboard tool (which I want & need!)
That clipboard tool then displays a popup window, with the different options available.
Often that popup window is so badly placed as to be unreachable by mouse and I struggle some time to finally be able to close it.
So my question is: How to (auto)start the VNC helper app, but prevent that pesky popup window from showing up?

To quote from the man pages
"When run with no options, it runs as a kind of "helper" application for Xvnc. Its main purpose when run in this mode is to support clipboard transfer to and from the VNC viewer(s). Note that without a running instance of vncconfig there will be no clipboard support. It puts up a window with some checkboxes which can be used to disable clipboard transfers if required (in the future there may be more functions available from this window). The -nowin flag can be used if you always want clipboard support but don't wish to clutter the desktop with this window - alternatively the -iconic option can be used to make it iconified by default."

vncconfig is used to control vncserver

See http://linux.die.net/man/1/vncconfig

Hope this helps

Regards
Ray
