Listmates,

Interesting quirk with tightvnc server. 11.0 installed with KDE 3.5. Using tighvnc server with "startkde &" as the desktop WM causes vncserver to serve the KDE 4 desktop. It's pretty neat, but I don't understand how it is doing it. Here is the desktop:

The desktop had all the cool stuff around the desktop icons and in the top right corner of the desktop. If vncserver can serve this desktop, can I use it for my regular desktop? Can I just modify .xinitrc somewhere to make that happen. Neat oddity.

Ahh, So if we want kde3, we start /opt/kde3/bin/startkde and if we want 4 we use /usr/bin/startkde. tighvnc issue solved. The question remains, can I start the kde4 desktop with /usr/bin/startkde and run in on top of kde3.5 without any weird consequences biting me? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
