You'll probably have to refresh the desktop by changing one of the settings like the background pixmap/color, then they should show up. It's probably not the best way to do things because I don't think the settings will save if you shutdown your vnc server. But since I keep mine up all the time (252 days now) I don't care. I've never tried running exec gnome-session, I'll have to try that sometime. ------------------ On Thu, 13 Jun 2002, Raymond Norton wrote: > Thanks Joe! > > Not real important, but is there some reason the icons don't show up on the > desktop? > > > > > Ray, > > > > Here is my xstartup script and it works great! > > > > > > #!/bin/sh > > > > xrdb $HOME/.Xresources > > xsetroot -solid grey > > gnome-wm & > > panel & > > gnome-terminal --use-factory --start-factory-server > > > > > > ---------------------- > > On Thu, 13 Jun 2002, Raymond Norton wrote: > > > >> I know this should be simple.
