Install tigervnc from the /extra section, then launch "vncserver" command.
If you're not happy with the default window manager, stop the VNC server ("vncserver -kill :1" will usually do it) and edit the startup script ~/.vnc/xstartup

Mine looks like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

vncconfig -iconic &

unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/etc/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
    /usr/bin/xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi

if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
    /usr/bin/xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    /usr/bin/xrdb -merge $userresources
fi

if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
    /usr/bin/xmodmap $usermodmap
fi

# Ensure that we start with a locked session:
xsetroot -solid grey
xscreensaver -no-splash &
xscreensaver-command -lock &

  exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/startxfce4

Thanks !

i installed something with slackpkg that turned out to be tigervnc-1.5.0 and did not work at all.

the version in /extra was a lot better !
