cannot start kdeinit

[James Weatherall]

John,

What do you mean by "the shell screen"?  If you mean a standard VNC X
desktop, which by default contains an xterm and vncconfig and uses the Twm
window manager, then the problem may be that there's already a window
manager running when you try to start KDE.  The best thing to do would be to
check the VNC X desktop & KDE log files for error messages. 

Cheers,
