Stefan, VNC in installation seems to be broken. Could you, please, take care of fixing it?
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2006-09-04 12:30:42 UTC 
I wonder if YaST2 specifies a wrong font path for Xvnc.

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
Comment 7 Lukas Ocilka 2006-09-04 13:26:55 UTC 
Marcus: please, fix font paths if there are wrong or make it "duplicate" if already fixed.

Jsrain: Have a look please, if font paths are set correctly (XVersion?).

...or write who's responsible for this... thanks

I think this was fixed in a wrong way during my vacation. I assume the variable
Xfontdir should be used here not Xlibdir. I changed the Xvnc call like
the following patch shows:
