Yesterday I needed to quit a graphical application running on my Linux laptop at work, and I couldn't find it in a process listing. Whoops! Time for remote control! Although I had turned on VNC ("Remote Desktop" in RHEL Linux), apparently I forgot the password. So I started with how to control the gnome vino-server from the command line and moved on to how to change the vino password from the command line. I used the online base64 encoder to put the known password in with gconftool. Pretty cool!
