I only use this machine as a remote terminal tunnelling through SSH to administer some boxes. Now I have the following in my xstartup file: #!/bin/sh PATH=/usr/local/kde4/bin:$PATH export PATH startkde4 & The weird thing is, when it finally boots, the menus etc. look fine - but the overall graphic quality is really, really bad, for example the oxygen theme which I believe is the standard just shows us black and white pixelated graphics across the task bar and so on. Now this does not happen with KDE 3.5 so I am wondering if there is something specifically I need to do when running KDE 4.1 through VNC? Has anyone encountered this yet? The command I am using to start the server is: vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1024x864 I have played with other settings and all bring about the same pixelated graphics. Regards, Terry
