    VNC X-Windows calls from a CGI script

    I'm in the process of making a cool utility online. I usually start by making it run from the command line, then calling portions from within a cgi script, and finally making it all cgi based.

    This one, however, has me stumped. I'm trying to open a VNC session so I can utilize a web browser in X-Windows, but I can't seem to be able to get the permissions right for our cgi wrapper. I can log in as that user to the server, run the program and it works. Call it from a CGI program and I get a full error_log in a hurry. I've done things how I normally do them (yes, I usually use this server), but it just doesn't want to work for me.

    Any thoughts / ideas, or am I totally not making sense at this point? (Another late night, so I may not be speaking coherently.)

    Got it.

    I had a eureka moment and I have it working. I've still got to clean up the page a bit, but I'm looking for some feedback on functionality / features at this point.

    Any feedback would be appreciated. And yes, I know the pages are ugly.
