GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 333049
Remote desktop (Vino) always assumes "vncserverhostname:0", preventing the use of other instances

Please describe the problem: When one starts a remote desktop, the description to access it always says "vncviewer hostname:0". The default "0" is wrong if one starts multiple X servers on one computer. Steps to reproduce: 1) Install normal Fedora core 4 and vino rpm vino-2.10.0-4.1. Login as root and start remote desktop (Desktop -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop) -> Uncheck the box "Ask you for confirmation" -> click "Close" button ); 2) Press "Ctrl + Alt + F1" to start another terminal, use "root" to login. Start X with another display number by typing "#startx -- :1" in the command line. Then another gnome session will be started. Follow the same procedure as step 1 to start remote desktop; Note: The remote desktop dialog states "Users can view your desktop using the command: vncviewer $HOSTNAME:0", just the same as the first X. ( "$HOSTNAME" means the name or IP address of the computer ) 3) At another computer, type "vncviwer $HOSTNAME:0", you can only get the remote desktop of the first X. One must use "vncviewer $HOSTNAME:1" to access the second X. Actual results: Actual Result: The remote desktop dialog always says ":0", which is very confusing for end user and he can't know how to access the second X by remote Desktop. Expected results: Expected Results: The remote desktop dialog should show the right number instead of always saying ":0". Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
