Can anybody else reproduce this?
If I create a VNC session that is running GNOME, and then login to a local
X session, the GNOME panel applets all (or most) refuse to come up in the
local X session (and vice versa, if started in reverse).
This is a common scenario for me: Have a permanent Xvnc session
running to access my work machine from home. When at work, login
locally. I don't want/need to share the same desktop session. I only
need for both sessions to operate independently, and not collide with
other for resources (CORBA problems?).
Any suggestions?
When the issue is happening in the VNC session, are any errors logged in
the VNC log? I know Gnome used to have issues running two sessions as one
user (to the point of not starting, IIRC). I'm not sure of the current
state of affairs.
I've almost gone so far as to create a second user with a
different HOME
directory, just to start the VNC session from... (ugly, and impractical
for
numerous reasons...)
This is probably the best course of action if you aren't willing to share
the :0 display.
