VNC Issues

[Matthew S-H]

I have recently been using VNC quite often to access my desktop when 
away.
Recently, I have run into some problems though:

1.  Speed.  Note that this is a NEW issue.  Up until a day or two ago, I 
was able to run VNC at a tolerable speed.  Now, however, it seems to be 
lagging tremendously.  It takes practically forever just to see the 
mouse move.  And NO settings were changed on the client.  It should be 
noted that I upgraded to Hoary right after the final release and that 
this problem started occurring some time within the last week (I have 
been on a vacation from VNC for the past week).  This bothers me, 
however, because I commonly use the computer over VNC.

2.  Startup.    This is a problem I can more easily describe.  The VNC 
server doesn't start until I log in.  I often-times must reboot my 
computer remotely.  After a reboot, I am unable to access the computer 
(graphically--I can still use SSH) until I can physically sit in front 
of the computer and login to GNOME.  Is there any way to get around 
this?  My ideas (although I don't know how to do them) are the 
following:
    a)  Modify some startup file to start the VNC server immediately so 
that I can use it to login.
    b)  Use the command line (via SSH) to either:
        b1) Login to GNOME
        b2) Start the VNC server

    Note that my temporary solution to this problem has been to set up my 
computer to automatically log me in after 2 minutes.  Although this 
works, it is not desirable.  i would rather not allow unrestricted 
login to someone without a password, and I would rather not wait 2 
minutes (which is less of a problem).


Anyway, thank you very much for your help.  Any and all responses will 
be greatly appreciated.
