I am trying to run Gnome in VNC, so from the command prompt (in runlevel 3, putty) I type vncserver. It gives a message and than I connect using the tunnel putty setup. I type 127.0.0.1:1.

I can connect and see X.

Trouble is that GNome doesn't load properly. It says Error activating XKB configuration. And I see all the components, but they appear as a wire outline and becomes fully formed where I click, the top bar isn't in the right place.

Everything thing has a funny green bar at the top.

Weird thing is under the same account (David, regular user) it goes to Gnome normally, it's just in VNC it's not working properly.

So I think perhaps the startup file is wrong, can someone take a look and let me know?

I am running suse 9.3

Thanks,

David


#!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
exec gnome &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &

The third line (starts with #exec) needs to be uncommented.
