Problem is: If it works, you can no longer locally log into that user id, since it is configured for only the vnc session on that user??
That doesn't make sense. Can you explain what you mean?
Never said it made sense. Just what it is.
If you set up a user account they way they say. It will start a vnc session on boot up with that user and that port. You can then vnc into the computer on that port and use the computer.
If you try to log in locally on that computer with that user id, the log in doesn't work, and it goes immediately back to the log in screen..
Oh, that's what you mean. I thought you meant you couldn't ssh into it using that user or something like that. Ok, then that's just the same thing that you were saying further down. You can't have multiple graphical sessions for the same user. It just doesn't work. Have you ever been able to do that with vncserver? It's never worked for me. Or it sort of worked briefly, but sooner or later things go badly wrong.
I think if you try and run a local session and vnc session with both using gnome desktop there are issues with it. But I always run the vnc session with the xfce desktop and never had a problem. I've also had no problem running xfce locally with a vnc xfce session. Seems gnome is doing something with dbus, and causes a conflict with both sessions trying to use the same dbus settings??
