RE: [coLinux-users] FC1 & Gnome

[John F. <J.P...@as...>]

For the record, the desktop choices of VNC are controlled by a file 
called xstartup in a hidden directory ./vnc in the user's home 
directory.  twm is the default in most cases.

The file is a text file and can be edited to e.g. change the 
background colour.
