Re: GNOME and VNC

I have found that you will probably need to manually go into the VNC startup
command-line within the startup script and specify 24 bits instead of 8 bits
for color.  The 8-bit color scheme is based on RRBBBGGG or something similar
so that's why things look "close" but not exactly correct.

Make that change and you will find it works perfectly then.
