Added instructions for starting super user level graphical programs
= General Instructions =
 
VNC does not respect the normal rules of elevating the current user through the use of entering the admin password. The only way to run many graphical programs that require the super user is to open a command line terminal within the VNC session and start the program with the "sudo" command. Two programs that may come in handy that work in this fashion are gparted and Synaptic Package Manager.
 
To start gparted:
 
In a VNC terminal window type:
 
{{Code|
Code = sudo gparted
}}
 
To start Synaptic Package Manager:
 
In a VNC terminal window type:
 
{{Code|
Code = sudo synaptic
}}
 
More detailed instructions are available [http://www.g-loaded.eu/2005/11/10/configure-vnc-server-in-fedora/ here].
