I think that was explained to me once as a result of the window belonging to the group, "nobody." I've never noticed an issue with it in terms of performance or usage. -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

linux - genuine windows replacement part Basically, the VNCServer is started by Inetd, as USER nobody and is waiting for the user to login. At startup VNCServer generates the title text. So as it says: "Nobody's Desktop".
It's only a title... I don't think I've ever managed to get rid of it, Although at the moment I don't remember trying either... Jerry

Sorry for the late reply, OK I have it working but it doesn't prompt the user for a loggin, instead , it just asks for authentication, and then fires up a kvm desktop. I would like it to present the KDM login and let me choose how to logon, the problem is I can't find any setting for it. I must be missing something. Does anyone know ? TIA Chadley

This is no longer an vnc problem, as vnc is working perfectly... I believe you got you system configured as a single user workstation (ie Automatic login on startup), so it automatically logs you in at vnc startup! Try turning of autologin, passwordless login and such... Jerry

Try looking at /etc/xinetd.d/vnc , you can define the user , and default is 'nobody'. # description: This serves out a VNC connection which starts at a KDM login \ # prompt. This VNC connection has a resolution of 1280x1024, 16bit depth. service vnc2 { type = UNLISTED port = 5902 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = nobody server = /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvnc server_args = :42 -inetd -once -query localhost -geometry 1280x1024 -depth 16 disable = yes } # default: off hth Mike
