yes, but there could well be people here that have it working that do
not follow either the rpmforge list or the vnc list.
I did some more testing. This problem only occurs for userid root (yes
I am allowing root login via VNC, but this is in a test setup in a
closed network on test servers). userid foo only has font problems
which are fixed with:
cd /usr/X11R6/
mkdir lib
cd lib
ln -s /usr/share/X11
