I'm trying to do some diagnostic work on my machine, so I'm actually physically logged in, and I also have Gnome setup to run when I start VNC, however the two don't play well simultaneously. I get the message: gnome-session: you're already running a session manager I've never heard of such a busted system where you can only run one copy of a window system at one time on a machine. Man, this nightmare sounds like something I'd find in Microsoft Windows. I searched and found a lot of old hits of this error. The solutions are not very compelling. Unsetting SESSION_MANAGER before launching vncserver only cascades errors down into the various client programs like the desktop etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, -Clint
