Hey I've just installed tight VNC today and I've had everything working until I rebooted.
When I load my interface I get a blank screen with a startx looking interface with no models rather then my old xfce4 one.
My xstartup file
#!/bin/sh
#xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
#xsetroot -solid grey
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1

Can you show us your /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc?

Yeah, once I get home sorry for the late reply I've had problems with my internet connection.

xsetroot -bg white -fg red -solid black -cursor_name watchIf you can figure this out, wow would I be so grateful.

I figured that I could open a VNC connection if the server doesn'y have a instance of XFCE4 running, and the VNC would run perfectly. I'm not completely sure if it's normal that I can't open two instances of XFCE4(1 for the server and 1 for the connecting computer), but if there is an alternate way around it I'd be grateful to find out.
Noting when I first installed tightVNC I could run both, then after a reboot I have that error, not allowing me to.

I figured out that I can run a GUI vnc connection and a desktop connection so long as I open the vnc connection first.
Thanks to all who have had a look.

If you figured it all out, please mark the thread as solved.
