VNC Server on Linux - Which Desktop?
So I have tight VNC running on my Mandrake Linux Box, but when I connect, it does not use my default X window manager (KDE) in the client.
Instead, it uses ICE WM, sometimes KDE, sometimes not. How do I control which Windows Manager it will use? What is the configuration file called in tight VNC? You are the best. :) |
I'm not sure, but I think that VNC uses your ~/.xinitrc file and starts an X server with only a pseudo-display, and then allows clients to view this display. So, then, your ~/.xinitrc should control what WM VNC starts.

on my system VNC uses ~/.vnc/xstartup for its config information
mine starts KDE every time with this #!/bin/sh unset SESSION_MANAGER exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources xsetroot -solid grey vncconfig -iconic & xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & startkde & |
