I have a strange problem with my vncserver install using icewm -- none of the XPM files for the themes load when vncserver is launched via init.d scripts.
In my /etc/init.d/vncserver
file, it runs the equivalent of:
su jessica -c "/usr/bin/vncserver -name vnc-server -depth 32 -geometry 1024x768 :0"
And in my ~/.vnc/xstartup
file:
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid black
vncconfig -iconic &
icewm-session &
If I run vncserver from my user account directly, everything behaves properly...
