VNC Memory Leak with RH Linux 6.0

[Richard Cox]

OK, I set my default desktop to KDE and no more memory leaks.  You were
right.  BTW, to set your default desktop, create a file called
/etc/sysconfig/desktop.  Put the either "KDE" or "GNOME" in it (without the
quotes), then stop and start VNC.  As noted, you probably don't want to use
Gnome because of the memory leak issue.
