Thanks tried that but:

vncext:	VNC extension running!
vncext:	Listening for VNC connection on port 5900
vncext:	created VNC server for screen 0
error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPoily

** (gnome-session:1004): WARNING **: Unable to read ICE authority file: 
/home/ej/.ICEauthority

waiting for X server yo shut down FreeFontPath: FPE 
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing

Do i need to remove .ICEauthority too?
Thanks
Eoghan
