<div class="">If I start up a vnc session on any of the gluon machines and then try to run root, it crashes the vnc session whenever one of the TCanvas windows closes. Apparently this is a known issue with the Xorg server, and a patch is available. This makes
root effectively unusable over vnc. A workaround is to avoid vnc and use X11 forwarding. X11 forwarding is much more sluggish, so that is a pain. I don't know when this might rise to the level of an action item, but just so you and others know about it. A
formal report with the recommended fix is linked below.</div>
