Another VNC Question


Below is a snip from the directory indicated below.

From the folks on the list and a Linux Admin I got hold of we were able to get VNC working on my Centos 5.3 Linux system.

I can log in using TightVnc and seems to work o.k.

Question #1. While in the VNC session if I logout using the logout screen on Centos the session closes down and then if I try again to log in the the VNC session all I get is a connection and a blank screen.

If I don't use the Centos logout for my user id but use the TightVnc close session button I'm o.k. and can log back in at any time.

Any idea why?

Second question relates to the paste in below.
Another person needs to also log in and would also like to us VNC. How do I set up a second person to log in?

Do I add another entry as below for the second user?

As usual you help is greatly appreciated.

21 VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1024x768 -nohttpd"

Sorry, forgot to add that everyone is using KDE.
