thanks, it seems to work.

i've tried openxencenter but no luck.  i got only the black console.
it might or might not be related to our network configuration, which
uses static nat between xcp and openxencenter.

and your sure you have all the python gtk and vnc modules, i used to get a black screen before they fixed it for ubuntu 10.4 was a gtk issue

 

i guess i'll try to avoid java/_javascript_/etc and stick with ssh+vncviewer.
anyway, thanks!
