Description Henrik Andersson cendio 2011-09-06 14:10:47 CEST
sessionstart.py does start Xvnc with -desktop argument to set the desktop title name to user@host which overrides the setting of title from the xstartup.d script
for setting the title.

When trying to set a name using vncconfig which is used in the xstartup script it fails, I also tested to remove the -desktop param from sessionstart.py but this didnt solve the issue.

The problem is not specific to the "desktop" parameter; I cannot set any param.

Yes, this was the problem. Fixed in vendordrop 26388.
Comment 4 Henrik Andersson cendio 2013-05-28 13:10:24 CEST
Verified using build 3960 on SLED11 sp2 that title could be set using vncconfig tool with:

"${TLPREFIX}/bin/vncconfig" -set "desktop=Hello World"

Which works as expected.
