I have my VNCServer running fine, aside from a persistent SELinux warning that closes my Tomboy when I start VNCServer (see it when I log in the 1st time after starting VNCServer) and the oft-inability to have my windows retain their border (hence impossible to move windows, unless moving with Alt+Space, which seldom works).
However, here's the thing I'd love to change most, and I'm hoping it's possible: when I log in, I get a "new" screen, meaning I can't log into to the local session. So, if I'm sitting in front of the PC in the morning and load Firefox, along with MS Excel (via Wine), and leave running when I wakl out the house in the morning, when I log in to my computer with VNC (over SSH) that day from work, I just get a new session. What's more, I can't run any programs that I have left running [locally, in the morning], since I get a SELinux denial. Is it possible to re-configure VNCServer so that I log in, and see exactly what was on my destktop when I left home in the morning?
I'm running Fedora 9.
Thanks veru much!!!

Reason: Made it a bit clearer.
