The endless loop vaneshed after launching X11 and then starting
vncserver (your suggestion), I'm woundering why?
There's one difference between your vnc startup script and mine - I've
got a "&" as the terminating character after fvwm2, therefor:
"$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & fvwm2 &
I'm not quite happy having to launch X11 to use the vncserver because my
intention is to use the server without a monitor and launching X11 for
nothing would take some system resources which I would rather like to
use for applications.
But -oops - I just realized I can't start any x-apps (netscape, xemacs)
without starting x11 ( I thought vnc uses x11 libs and provides these
libs to all other apps because I have a fvwm2 desktop with just starting
vncserver from a terminal and no x11 running currently on the entire
linux server)
Actually this is the big difference:
Removing the terminating "&" in ""$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" & fvwm2 &"
causes vncserver to launch without running the system into a endless
loop which I mentioned in the previous message.

What exactly is " reverse video" ?
Additionally - how do I kill a vncserver ? The html help provides
"vncserver -kill :<serverinstancenumber>"
If I do that - the appropiate server instance does not die - instead a
new server instance is created!
