You’ll have to define a new connection before connecting with the VNC Connect client by manually entering the IP address of your VNC server. We recommend it for remotely accessing all kinds of graphical work on the Pi, especially if you use Raspbian, as the server software now comes preinstalled. The client performs decently with other servers but works best when paired with its own. Finally, you should be able to log back in to XFCE with a fresh clean interface.If transferring files is imperative to your remote access, then there’s no better option than VNC Connect.Then fully logout/close your ICEWM temporary session.

If originally connected with XFCE, you can connect with ICEWM and when prompted, terminate your XFCE session.

If you have issues re-connecting to a previous session and want to terminate it to start fresh, you can do so by connecting with a different Window Manager. If you find one that's smoother and provides a better user experience, please let us know, we would be happy to share it!
