As you know, the problem occurred while the remote headless computer
was set to automatically login into an xfce session. When I tried to
connect with vnc to what I thought was a gnome session, it did not
connect, unless a nx gnome session was also running, in which case
the image in the vnc client was not clear.
Somehow I managed to make the remote headless computer automatically
login into a gnome session and the problem does not occur anymore.
Unfortunately I don't know how I can make the remote headless
computer automatically login into the xfce session. I tried
forwarding gdmsetup by ssh -Y, but the changes that I make in the
forwarded "Login Window", particularly the Default Session popup,
seem not to be effective when it automatically logs in.
Could you please tell me how I can make it automatically boot into an
xfce session, so that I can try to reproduce the problem and give you
the output you asked for.
