terminal access only (gray window)

[John Aldrich]

KDE also has this problem. You might try KDE for your VNC user session
instead of Gnome, or some other window manager. Actually, KDE handles it a
bit more gracefully... the only problem is that you pretty much will be
forced to log out of everything and back in once you're back at the local
console. However, you'll have access through VNC until that time.

Damjam,

As previously stated, this is a bug in Gnome that prevents multiple Gnome
sessions to co-exist on the same machine for the same user.
