hi all, I've inherited a server with CentOS 6.4 the VNC Server starts up with the OS and its screen resolution is set to 800x600. I found that I can set the resolution by specifying the -geometry switch, but I can't find where the call to start the vncserver is set in order to change it. I know that it's not in /etc/xinetd.d (the only file there is rsync) here are the contents of

I choose to not delete but to just go on. After I get a half dozen or so of

I know with vnc you can access virtual desktops, but is there a way to view the current desktop on a kde session? I tried changing the .vnc/xstartup and added the startkde & at the end to get the gui working, but can only get virtual desktops to show. or if there is a different software to use that someone else might know about.

I acutally

Thanks for the feedback. At least on Windows, the font size for View() appears to be controlled by the font size specified under the Rgui preferences / Rconsole. I thought that under Linux, it might be controlled by some .Xresources/.Xdefaults setting. Ok, will wait for a bit but if nobody else has any suggestions, I'll ask on r-devel.

Well I''ve made a lot of progress on my app, but I''m stuck on figuring out how to add a bitmap. I have a notebook and a page panel. On this panel I want to put a backdrop image and scale it to the size of the panel. How do I do this? I looked at some of the samples related to bitmaps and I could not see how to apply that to my situation. Thanks, T.
