I followed Alan's advice and disabled automatic screen locking in the VNC 
session. When I returned this morning, all worked well ... now, after a 
lunch break, I wanted to open a new window in this VNC session, and got an 
error:

> Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server

this happens for any X-based application, AFAICT. looking at ps's output, I 
can't find a process that started today (MET), so maybe this would have 
happened this morning too if I'd tried.

any ideas?
thx
Michael
