Bug Description
Trying to start vnc4server via "vnc4server -geometry 1400x990 :1" fails always; the .vnc/$HOST:1.log leads off with
Unrecognized option: -extension
Doing an strace on the vnc4server binary shows that it's trying to execute Xvnc4 like so:
Xvnc4 :1 -desktop "denisovich:1 (steve)" -auth /home/steve/
but that Xvnc4 no longer recognizes the -extension argument. This was working with vnc4 4.1.1+xorg1.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04
Package: vnc4server 4.1.1+xorg4.

Backing out the change in http:// bazaar. launchpad. net/~ubuntu- branches/ ubuntu/ lucid/vnc4/ lucid/revision/ 12, the only remaining (code) dependency fixes it so that Xvnc4 will start. And it is capable of launching a full gnome-session, as that's what I have my .vnc/xstartup configured to do.
