Hi,
I'm noticing that if I have a gnome session on my desktop and try to
start vnc (which also uses gnome) as my same username, I get this
error:
gnome-session: you're already running a session manager
iirc, in the past I would be able to open a second session as the same
user. Is there a reason/explanation behind not allowing multiple
sessions? Or have i configured something wrong?
thanks,
Sam
Try unsetting SESSION_MANAGER before starting VNC. The same thing can
happen when using Xnest.
