Oh, that's what you mean. I thought you meant you couldn't ssh into it
using that user or something like that. Ok, then that's just the same
thing that you were saying further down. You can't have multiple
graphical sessions for the same user. It just doesn't work. Have you
ever been able to do that with vncserver? It's never worked for me. Or
it sort of worked briefly, but sooner or later things go badly wrong.
I think if you try and run a local session and vnc session with both using
gnome desktop there are issues with it. But I always run the vnc session
with the xfce desktop and never had a problem. I've also had no problem
running xfce locally with a vnc xfce session. Seems gnome is doing
something with dbus, and causes a conflict with both sessions trying to
use the same dbus settings??
