Hi Bob question on getting TurboVNC running

[Phil Marsh]

Also, if I start TurboVNC server on a terminal opened at consol (on my
local monitor rather than Telnet) TurboVNC server starts and its logfile
contains the text at the end:

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
xstartup.turbovnc: Creating new session bus instance:
xstartup.turbovnc:
unix:path=/tmp/dbus-XSpMzGYbFQ,guid=3749806eaf5c1e208f48a16467b507d6
xstartup.turbovnc: Using 'xubuntu' window manager in
xstartup.turbovnc:   /usr/share/xsessions/xubuntu.desktop
xstartup.turbovnc: Executing /etc/X11/Xsession "startxfce4"

I'm wondering why TurboVNC server fails to start in a Telnet terminal
(using this over OpenVPN when I'm remote)?
Thanks!
Phil
