Configuring Tigervnc
The user specific configuration files of vncserver resides in the
.vnc
directory in the user's home
directory. The xstartup
file in that
directory is a script specifying what commands to be run when a VNC
desktop is started. If no xstartup
file exists, vncserver will try to start an
xterm in a twm session. An example xstartup
would be:
#!/bin/sh
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
