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!

SYNOPSYS

       vinagre [OPTIONS] [server][::port|:display]

DESCRIPTION

       vinagre	is  a  remote desktop viewer for the GNOME desktop. It can support many protocols using a plugin system. Current plugins exist for
       VNC and SSH.  Vinagre has many features, among others:.

       - Support for multiple connections simultaneously

       - Bookmarks and history support

       - Avahi integration

       - GNOME keyring integration

       - You can connect to a VNC server by double clicking on a .vnc file when using nautilus.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       [server][::port|:display]
	      Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address,
	      it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter-
	      natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be  used.
	      If  the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is
	      specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed.  Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024.  If	a  display
	      number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port.  Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the
	      same time.
