Anyway, I think what you can do is XAUTHORITY=<Xauthority-file> x11vnc ... You can try to figure out automatically the Xauthority-file via ps aux | grep auth | .... or similar. I don't think ~/.Xauthority will come back. The desktops (KDE, GNOME, etc.) didn't want to continue using it. Sorry, but you need to live with that workaround. Still I hope this information helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
