Jason,
Here is what I ended up doing after talking to Radoslav and Jecel on IRC. I setup tighvncserver and the minimal X setup to support it. Here's what I did to get a working Squeak that I could connect and disconnect from.
Login to box2 with ssh.
Run the server once to get the basic local configuration started:
a. tightvncserver (it will ask you for a password to use and setup ~/.vnc/)
b. (Note the display number it states when it starts, I think this will vary depending on the user and how many other servers are running, but I'm not sure.)
tightvncserver -kill :1 (substitute the appropriate display number for the 1 here)
Now edit ~/.vnc/xstartup and add something like
squeakvm ~/Squeak3.8-6665.image &
as the last line.
Start the server again
tightvncserver
At this point you should be able to connect from your workstation with
xtightvnc box2.squeakfoundation.org:1 (again substitute the appropriate display number)
It should then ask for your password and then you should be connected. There is no WM so this is no frills but you can ask Squeak to fullscreen itself and then other than the display delays it looks just like a local Squeak. You can close the window and the Squeak process keeps running and you can reconnect at will.
This seems to do the job in my opinion.
Ken,
Thanks. I just read your two emails. I have been in a meeting for most of the day.
I appreciate your diligence, even though I didn't get to hop onto IRC. I will check out the configuration.
Again, thanks a lot for your help.
