Hi Y'all

after getting YDL on my 7500/100 to work, I now would like to get VNC on 
it to work, as the box will be running "headless" in another room.

I installed all three vnc rpms [vnc-server-3.3.3r2-18a, vnc-
doc-3.3.3r2-18a, vnc-3.3.3r2-18a], whereas the server is the one I need 
to get running.

Starting the server and getting a connection is not the problem, but as 
soon as I start an application, the server crashes:

I can't really see, what the problem is. Can anyone out there tell me, 
what settings are neccessary to successfully run vnc under YDL 2.2. 
[BTW, the depth, the server is running under, doesn't affect the 
situation]
