    I think it depends on what VNC server you have installed. I recently
    switched from vncserver to vnc4server, and it seems it then switched
    from using /etc/X11/Xsession (and ~/.Xsession) to ~/.vnc/xstartup.

    The default ~/.vnc/xstartup uses x-window-manager, and you can change
    that using update-alternatives. Otherwise just edit ~/.vnc/xstartup
    yourself to get it to start whatever window environment you want.
