VNC session problem on AIX

[Weiping He]

Hello:

I have this annoying problem with vnc on AIX boxes.
The vnc session will die (lose x window capacity) after around 12 hours
also.
I found this message in ~/.dt/errorlog:

Workspace manager: I/O error on display::aix-d091:2.0

I have tried these methods, none of them works.
1. Disable screen saver in $HOME/.Xdefaults
2. Remove non-exist fonts path in vncserver script
3. Set "connection time out" to zero in vncserver script.
4. Use newer version from IBM website. vnc-3.3.3r2-5.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
5. disable Automatic logout by setting TMOUT=0.

Can somebody give me a suggestion?

Thank you for your help.

The xstartup script:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/openwin/bin
if [ -f /usr/dt/bin/Xsession ]
then
export XSTATION=1 DTXSERVERLOCATION=local
xset s off
Xsession &
else
xrdb $HOME/.Xdefaults
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
mwm &
fi

Hmm, if the error is there it would appear that you're using CDE to
manage the session - is that correct? I don't have this problem with
the window managers that I use (mwm, twm, Gnome ...). Have you tried
one of those?
