VNC Problems

Hi,

I'm trying to get vnc-3.3.3-2 working so I can access a gnome desktop on my
8500 linux box from an imac (DV) on the same local network. I've got it
sorta working. I see gnome starting, even though the colors are wrong and
the icons are squished, but then vnc crashes. Any pointers would be greatly
appreciated.

I changed my vncserver file like so:

$geometry = "800x600";
$depth = 8;

(I've tried depths of 16 and 32, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
Is the imac screen not really exactly 800x600 and that's causing the
squished icons?)

My xstartup file looks like:

#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
exec $HOME/.Xclients-default &

(.Xclients-default starts gnome)

And here's the vnc log:
