Thank you. I haven't been able to get it to work --- yet :-)
When I start the vncviewer on the windows client I get prompted for the session password. After entering it, all I get is a window that is the grey crosshatch background, the "x" cursor, and nothing else --- No KDM login. :-(
I am getting in the log window in the local xserver window, the message shown below, but I haven't found anything on that error yet:
"Nov 25 18:06:20 russte08 kdm[1633]: Cannot read from config reader".
i couldn't get it to work with kdm either, but it worked in xdm on the first try. I just put :1 local /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvnc :1 in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers, and changed DisplayManager.pidFile: in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config so it could run at the same time as kdm. Then I just ran xdm from the command line and everything worked. I have no idea why it doesn't work in kdm :(
