I am running RH5.0 and the KDE desktop. I am trying to use the vnc
client/server in order to run Win95 programs from Linux. I by running a Xvnc
server and the Win vnc client, I can do Linux form within Windows (cool), but
when I try the other way (connecting a Linux vnc client to a Win95 vnc server,
the new R13 release),
I get this:

# vncviewer daisy:0
vncviewer: VNC server supports protocol version 3.3 (viewer 3.3)
Password:
vncviewer: VNC authentication succeeded
vncviewer: Desktop name "daisy"
vncviewer: Connected to VNC server, using protocol version 3.3
vncviewer: VNC server default format:
16 bits per pixel.
Least significant byte first in each pixel.
True colour: max red 31 green 31 blue 31
            shift red 10 green 5 blue 0
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
vncviewer: unable to open display :0.0         


I tried "-debug" but it only seemed to give some hex values during negotiation,
no additional data at the point the above "_X11..." errors occured. I am using
the correct password and display number.
