Please disregard this message. Due to lack of caffine I over looked a very
simple (and in the document too) rule for starting gnome.

for other's FYI (incase anyone else is lacking caffine or sleep) replace twm
with exec gnome-session &

Thanks

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.
