David,
Unfortunately, I already deleted your message regarding it being
good to know you can use RealVNC Server for a less barebones session. I
think odds are that this won't do you much good, as if remote desktop isn't
working, it probably means that the domU or xen networking is down. In the
latter case, the barebones vnc from Xen would be a viable backup. That
said, it is also worth noting that running RealVNC Server is different from
remote desktop in one big way (and many smaller more intrinsic ones). That
said, you should know that non-privileged users cannot login to remote
desktop without being given permission, but via RealVNC Server, they are
effectively logging in to the local console, so they can. As users are
effectively using the local console, anything done over RealVNC Server could
be seen and controlled in the xen vnc console as well (as opposed to "this
computer is in use and has been locked" or whataver), this could be useful
in some cases and dangerous in others, but needless to say, your xen vnc
consoles would need to be secured or disabled.
