Can not use multiple applications in VNC viewer

[James Weatherall]

Mustafa,

>From what you've described, it sounds like you don't have an X11
window-manager running.  You can edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup file, find the
line that tries to run "twm" and replace that with something more suitable,
e.g. "gnome-session" or "start-kde", depending upon the window manager you'd
like to use.

Cheers,
