Even when ran/run on X it required X11's Xcomposite extension for quite some time now. On the other hand, Thightvnc is old software. It bases on Xfree86, an outdated implementation of X. Thightvnc's X server doesn't comprise the Xcomposite extension. Also, upstream does not maintain Thightvnc on Linux any more. Conclusion: Tightvncserver cannot serve a recent Gnome desktop. Recommendation: Install the gnome-remote-desktop package and enable screen sharing in your Gnome Settings. Sven -- GPG Fingerprint 3DF5 E8AA 43FC 9FDF D086 F195 ADF5 0EDA F8AD D585
