Hi Linglom,

Fantastic post! i have one question-

when i connect as root using vnc Viwer, i see everything on desktop as expected, howevwer, when i logoff from within RedHat linux server (while in remote session) i then see a balnk red screen?

If i close the VNC session and try to connect again i put my password and it logs in but its like it still has the last session so i still see blank Red screen?

Workaround for me is to restart vncserver service on RedHat server and then when i connect using vnc viewer again i see everything as expected?

any ideas?
