VNC looks like a local console login.
Since I am just sat logged into a F12 gnome session over vnc, I tried it:
$ geany
Command not found. Install package 'geany' to provide command 'geany'?
[N/y]
* Installing packages..
* Getting information..
* Resolving dependencies..
* Waiting for authentication.. The transaction failed:
not-authorized, Failed to obtain authentication.
This gnome session was started by logging into GDM over vnc - GDM with
xdmcp enabled, and connecting from a remote machine to the VNC port
via ssh forwarding.
HTH,
