Hi All,
I've been VNC to create virtual desktops on 14.04LTS and Unity (or really any GTK3-based) desktop doesn't play nicely and doesn't render a usable desktop.
I've been able to get things working just fine with KDE-Plasma and XFCE but I want to get it running with MATE if possible as I know it's still running GTK2.
I've been creating a script to tell the software to render different desktops but can't figure out what to put to get MATE working.
For example, with XFCE, I'd enter:
#!/bin/sh
DESKTOP_SESSION=xfce
export DESKTOP_SESSION
startxfce4
vncserver-virtual -kill $DISPLAY
Any recommendations for getting MATE to play nicely appreciated. I've already tried several permutations of lines 2 and 4 but without success.
Any suggestions?
