+I had a lot of problems getting tigervncserver to work with xfce.  The site [[https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/762533/tigervnc-xfce-startup-failing-on-new-debian-12-bookworm-install-another-sessio|TigerVNC Xfce startup failing on new Debian 12 bookworm install. "Another session manager is already running"]]
+This recommended the following ''~.vnc/xstartup'' configuration that simply worked, it took a long time to find a solution:
+<code>#!/bin/bash
+[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
+[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
+vncconfig -iconic &
+dbus-launch --exit-with-session xfce4-session</code>
+The parameter ''vncconfig -iconic'' is for X clipboard support.
+My ''~./vnc/config'':
+<code share>session=xfce
+geometry=2000x1200
+localhost=false</code>
+The ''localhost=false'' parameter means that you do not need ssh to access.  As this is on my LAN only I do not see the need for SSH.  (If i need WAN access I can Wireguard VPN into my local LAN.)
+When I finally got tigervncserver with xfce on Debian 12 the XFCE session came up with an annoying authorisation request that I found a resolution at [[https://www.geekdecoder.com/how-to-fix-authentication-is-required-to-create-a-color-profile-managed-device-on-ubuntu-22-04/|How to fix “Authentication is required to create a color profile/managed device”]]
