keyboard unresponsive in gnome / VNC session

807557Feb 3 2005 — edited Jun 24 2005

Greetings list -
I'm having a problem with a gnome session (Java Desktop) within VNC. When I start Real VNC server and connect to it with any vncviewer (Real, Tight, Ultra), everything comes up and looks fine. The mouse works, I can select things, drag windows, open menus, etc. However, when I try to type in an xterm or terminal session I get no response to the keyboard.

I have this in my .vnc/xstartup file:
xterm -geometry 80x43+10+10 -sb -sl 10240 -rv -ls -title "`hostname`" &
gnome-session &

If I replace "gnome-session" with "dtwm" I get a CDE desktop and everything works fine (the keyboard works). When I start gnome from the console I don't have these problems, so I think it is an interaction with VNC.

Has anyone else seen this and/or have a suggestion? Thanks!
