Description of problem: After fresh install of gitso 0.6-7.fc18 and all its dependencies (tigervnc-server 1.2.80-0.8.20130124svn5036), gitso don't work with "Give support" option. After click on "Start", notification bar indicates : "Could not start server". Launching gitso on terminal gives these results : GitsoThread.run(pid: 3163) running... Processes.KillPID(3163) x11vnc: aucun processus trouvé x11vnc seems to be not started. Some additionnal informations are mentionned here : http://forums.fedora-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=59021 Seems to be a problem with vncserver version, solved by downgrading to an older version, but I have not been able to confirm that.
Gitso use x11vnc when get help, and vncviewer for give support. This problem come from vncviewer. Command used by gitso, is "vncviewer -listen". With an old tigervnc rpm (tigervnc-1.1.0-6.1) it works fine : $ vncviewer -listen Visionneur TigerVNC pour la version 1.1.0 du serveur X - Paquetage construit le « Jul 23 2012 20:06:27 » Copyright (C) 1999-2011 TigerVNC Team and many others (see README.txt) Voir http://www.tigervnc.org pour plus d'informations sur TigerVNC.

Thank you for explanations and for the bug report on correct package (vncviewer).
