I have a vnc server running on my version of CentOS 6. However, when I remote in I have limited options in the Gnome GUI such as not being able to shut down or edit network connections and so forth. Obviously I need to be able to change these things over VNC and would like to do so through the GUI. Below is my xstartup script.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
[ -r /etc/sysconfig/i18n ] && . /etc/sysconfig/i18n
export LANG
export SYSFONT
vncconfig -iconic &
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
OS=`uname -s`
if [ $OS = 'Linux' ]; then
case "$WINDOWMANAGER" in
*gnome*)
if [ -e /etc/SuSE-release ]; then
PATH=$PATH:/opt/gnome/bin
export PATH
fi
;;
esac
fi
if [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
fi
if [ -f /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ]; then
exec sh /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
fi
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &

You agreed not to bump posts when you registered here. We are not "on call", and you barely waited a single minute before bumping anyway -- if you don't get an answer immediately, wait!
I take it when you login as this user when physically at the machine, you get permissions to shut down the system, etc? I think the trouble is you're bypassing the usual Gnome login system by logging in direct with VNC...
Might you need to run gnome-session before you run other things?
It's funny. A while ago we had someone with the exact opposite problem, how to restrict a remote user from getting to a real login screen!
My appoligies for the bump, and I originally posted this about 12 hours and just updated it twice by accident. Would I need to move gnome-session & to the top or how might that be done?
Thanks in advance.

Fixed problem myself by changing gnome-session & in startup script to exec gnome-session &
