Broken VNC

[TheAllusionist]

So somehow I broke my VNC server (tightvnc on debian).

I can't access the top and bottom of the desktop. That would be the programs menu and clock at the top. The bottom is the workspace switcher. This is in gnome by the way. I can still access the main part of the desktop, where the files are on the background.

One other problem, is that somehow my keyboard configuration must have messed up. So when I type in the VNC session, I get random letters. To change it, I tried this, but it didn't work.

This shouldn't be the work of a hacker or bot, etc. My stuff is locked down! Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks!

Try using vnc4server on Debian..For some reason that fixed it for me on my server.lu..

Is it possible to hook up locally to the remote computer just to troubleshoot?
