Hi folks...
Thanks for the comments.. I think I figured out my issue.
I re-read some of the other discussions related to 'grey screens' and
finally noticed a comment regarding the /tmp/.X11-unix directory...
As I installed and started running VNC as my user (not root), this directory
was created as my user. I did come across the comment about /tmp/.X11-unix
(and /tmp/.X11-pipe) needing to be owned by root. But silly me, I figured,
if I own it AND I had reset it to global access, why shouldn't it work.
Well, like I said, I re-read that comment and figured I might as well give
it a try...
Seems that has done the trick!
Thanks again for your suggestions!
