[CentOS] vncserver does not start gnome-sessioin automatically

[Yawei Guo]

Hi Miranda,

I had not killed my vnc server and restarting it each time I changed my
xstartup. I thought that would reset xstartup to the original one. And I
did not understand how vnc server work. Now gnome session appears after I
kill and restart my vnc server. Thank you very much. You are so nice.
