I have a script to drop any control of the firewall. No problem for sure
here.

After posting i did some more experiments:

I have installed tightvncserver

Terminating kde and stopping lightdm I was able to kill the vncserver
(from krfb) at :0. Then I launched vncserver (=tightvncserver) at :0 and
got in the client a X session. But it has no windows manager. Just the
ususal X at the center of the screen.

I don't know:
1. How to connect to a kde session.
2. How to connect to a specific desktop (Ex. :1). This should be useful
because I didn't need to stop the krfb at :0. If I put :1 after the IP
address on the client it thinks this is port 1!
Even so, if this is possible, I would probably end up with an empty X
screen ...

BTW, I cannot uninstall krfb because kde network manager depends on it
and it has always a vnc session running at :0.

Thanks
