Additional info:  If you run gedit, it works.  If you su to root, the same
problem occurs.

Comment 2 Adam Tkac 2007-08-16 12:40:46 UTC
Could you please attach server log? (located in ${HOME}/.vnc/)

There is no .vnc directory.

It's impossible. Could you look again into server's home directory (if you run
server under root user, look at /root/.vnc, if you run it under my_nick, look
into /home/my_nick/.vnc for example), please?

Thanks, Adam

The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the
issue if it is still present.  Since there have not been any
updates to the report since thirty (30) days or more since we
requested additional information, we're assuming the problem
is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.

Setting status to "CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA".  If you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
release and can provide the information previously requested, 
please feel free to reopen the bug report.

Thank you in advance.

Note that maintenance for Fedora 7 will end 30 days after the GA of Fedora 9.
