When I start "vncserver" as root, and connect to it with a windows vnc viewer everything works as expected.
But when starting "vncserver" as a normal user things don't work as expected.

The logging into the vncserver is working correctly, but..
The problem is that there is no interaction possible as a normal user.
So no screen dragging, no mouse clicks, no key presses> nothing.

Hopefully someone can help with this?
FYI, I use kde

hmm I found something. Don't know why it says so, but it does.
In the log of vnc when I log in with the normal user there is a line saying
" View-only authentication passed"
That same line isn't in the log of user root

Ok fixed it. The problem was this:
When making the vnc password you are asked to also make a view-only password. At that time I did'nt understand that so I entered the same password.
So it seems the view-only mode was activated that way.
stupid huh :P

Yes, I thought it was quite clear what View-Only password reffered to ;)
