VNC/Fedora7 issue
Hi,

This has been extremely frustrating, and I need help figuring this one out!

I am running Fedora 7 on computer A, and am VNCing into it from my Mac using Chicken of the VNC. For Sarah, everything works fine. However for Bob, the toolbar along the top is missing and every application/window that is minimized disappears from view without anything showing up on the bottom taskbar.

I have tried replacing all .gnome files in Bob's profile with those in Sarah's. I have tried removing .Xauthority so it recreates it. I have removed all files in /tmp associated with Bob's username. I have removed every .something file in Bob's profile that Sarah doesn't have. Nothing has worked so far.

Please let me know any suggestions you have for things I can try. I tried a new user VNCing on computer A as well, and that worked as well, however many files are already associated with Bob's user account, so I'd rather not create a new user unless that is the only option.

Thanks so much for any advice you can provide!

vncpasswd

vncpasswd(1)						     Virtual Network Computing						      vncpasswd(1)

NAME

       vncpasswd - change a VNC password

SYNOPSIS

       vncpasswd [passwd-file]

DESCRIPTION

       vncpasswd  allows  you  to set the password used to access VNC desktops.  It stores an obfuscated version of the password in the given file
       (default $HOME/.vnc/passwd).  The vncserver script runs vncpasswd the first time you start a VNC desktop, and invokes Xvnc with the  appro-
       priate -rfbauth option.	vncviewer can also be given a password file to use via the -passwd option.

       The  password  must be at least six characters long, and only the first eight characters are significant.  Note that the stored password is
       not encrypted securely - anyone who has access to this file can trivially find out the plaintext password, so vncpasswd always sets  appro-
       priate  permissions  (read and write only by the owner).  However, when accessing a VNC desktop a challenge-response mechanism is used over
       the wire making it hard for anyone to crack the password simply by snooping on the network.

FILES

       $HOME/.vnc/passwd
	      Default location of the VNC password file.
