[oclug] VNC and KDE

[Stephen Robinson]

You'll need to edit the vncserver script and edit the line that runs the 
window manager. By default the window manager is TWM. Just change it to 
whatever you want. I've done it with Gnome.
The line(s) looks like this:

$defaultXStartup
   = ("#!/bin/sh\n\n".
   "xrdb \$HOME/.Xresources\n".
   "xsetroot -solid grey\n".
   "xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title \"\$VNCDESKTOP Desktop\" &\n".
   "twm &\n");
You can safely get rid of most of it and just put your kde 
command(startkde I think... It's been a while)

Hope this helps.
