I don't think this is something he broke himself; from the little I've found, this appears to be something that's recommended or even required for WSLg (the Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) to work. See e.g. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/193#issuecomment-841341256 for one indication that that may be the case. It is, of course, always possible that other software might not be compatible with doing this - and, honestly, if I were trying to debug this I'd probably start by getting the source of TigerVNC and experimenting with changing things around there. > (You've also forgotten the sticky bit on your mounted directory.) While that's certainly not ideal, I can't see how it could cause the exhibited behavior in this case; from what I can find reading up on the sticky bit to refresh my memory, having it unset should just result in being able to do *more* things with/inside the directory than would be the case if it were set. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
