That doesn't make sense. Can you explain what you mean?
Never got a clear answer on why they seem to think this is
necessary,
and who is pushing it. Have heard there were some issues with running
a local gnome and an vnc gnome at same time. I always ran the vnc with
xfce so never had an issue. Had lines in rc.local that would start the
vncserver for users at boot up using runuser option.
Of course you can't run them both at the same time. Both Gnome sessions
are going to be trying to run the same processes and they'll conflict.
If you run a simpler desktop system that doesn't use dbus or multiple
processes, then it might be ok to run both. But you still might end up
with conflicting file writes for configs or caches.
Their is now a new config file in the ~/.vnc directory that is
suppose to
start up things, but last time I tested it. I was giving errors if you tried to
setup a session option.
Works fine for me. I have it setup for openbox.
