That's really a stupid thing to occur. I've seen that sort of thing back in
F5 or so when trying to configure the display. Nothing shows up on the
remote VNC session but the GUI tool pops up on the directly connected
console screen. Seems like remote VNC sessions have a lot of "issues" that
don't seem to get fixed over time. I guess not many people run a GUI desktop
remotely.

Yeah, me too. Been up since midnight last night till now, around 3 PM,
messing with this system.
