[Thinlinc-technical] problem with gnomedesktop

[Peter Åstrand]

The log entries doesn't really indicate why the unlock is not successful, 
strange.

To configure TL to disconnect inactive sessions, you can use the 
IdleTimeout option for Xvnc:

   IdleTimeout    - The number of seconds after which an idle VNC connection
                    will be dropped (zero means no timeout) (default=0)

So for example, you can add -IdleTimeout=120 to the xserver_args parameter 
in vsmagent.hconf. Then, restart the vsmagent service and login again.

Regards,
Peter
