    I have been working for some time on getting VNC to work properly (going
    from windows or other linux box to linux box).

    I had the same problem as below, but was able to get kde to load. but, I
    can not get gnome to load. Anyone have any ideas why "startkde" would work
    but "startx" wouldn't work in the ~/.vnc/xstartup bash?

    I'm using version 3.3.7

    Thanks in Advance

    Jeremiah

    I don't know if my approach is good or not,
    at least it already helped me to build a successful vnc connection.

    I start vncserver as a normal user,
    and ... that's it! And later on I can use viewer.exe on a windows to
    connect my vncserver without problem. However default ~/.vnc/xstart bash
    script file only start a twm desktop for you, I manually modify that
    file - by umcomment the first 2 lines and comment the rest of settings.

    that's what I do to build my vnc environment :) HTH.
