I'm writing an OpenGL program in C++, but am using Objective-C++ / Cocoa for the GUI front-end. For some reason awakeFromNib, initWithFrame:, and initGL are all being called twice.…

No, AFAIK, those methods should not be called twice unless there are two instances of the object.

Put an NSLog(@"%@", self) in at the beginning of your awakeFromNib method to see if it's being called on the same instance.

it means there are two different instances of your view and each one gets awakeFromNib called on it once

This implies that you're class is getting instantiated twice. Is it instantiated by the NIB itself? Is it also instantiated in code ( alloc, init)?

I need to be able to run the desktop of a PC at work, from home. Since various requirements of installed hardware and software mandate Windows 2000, I can't use Windows XP Pro with…

My recollection is that on the VNC server there is a slider setting that trades off VNC performance against the local PC performance. You might try fiddling with that setting.

I was in a similar situation, and ended up using GoToMyPC. It's not free, but it works surprisingly well.

VNC isn't exactly the fastest protocol out there. If you want performance, I'd recommend installing the TightVNC software package instead. Unfortunately, I don't know of any Mac cl…

I wish Microsoft would just sell a simple add-on Terminal Services/RDC package that wouldn't require Win 2k Server. Dominik

General rules for VNC speed - decrease screen size - decrease color depth - turn on compression I believe I used to launch my client in lower bit depth than my server (running at…

RDC actually sends windowing commands between the server and you. So because of that - it can be TONS faster. VNC sends compressed bitmaps. I can run RDC over GPRS and be usable. …

you might want to use compression in order to get beeter speeds while using VNC. use a SSH tunnel with the -c (compression) flag. It can make a difference.
