How to run the CDE desktop on a VNC server

[Tim Senecal]

Freddy,

I have found the quickest way for a user to create a replication of their
original CDE startup and user settings is the following Xvnc command line
rather than using the vncserver script...

./Xvnc -query <hostname> -geometry WxH -cc 3 :Port &

where hostname is the name of the machine running Xvnc
where WxH is the width and height they want for their session and
where Port is the session port they want (like 2 or 3 or 4...)

the secret here is the -query option, it basically takes care of
"everything" for me...
