endless cascading screens

Maybe someone on this list could help me. I was using VNC without any 
trouble to remotely control another computer of mine. But for a reason not 
related to VNC I had to reinstall Ubuntu 6.10 on this machine. Every since 
that time I have been unable take control of my other machine. I use  
vncviewer localhost:0 after putting in my password the screen sometimes I 
will get a dialog (one I didn't get before reinstalling Ubuntu) asking that 
someone is trying to control my desktop and asking if I wish to accept or 
refuse connection. If I click on accept I get endless cascading screens. The 
screens seem to be of THIS desktop and not of the remote desktop. Is there 
anyway to tell if VNC is actually going to the remote desktop? Or can anyone 
tell me how to fix this problem. Thanks, Tim
