    More:

    I changed the session for root to :2. That boots up
    and starts vncserver with no errors (and I can log in
    remotely just fine).

    This being a new installation, I have only one other
    account. I seem to recall initially trying to set up
    vncserver for this account, though there was no .vnc
    directory in this users home account. Anyway, I ran
    vncserver for this account, and it responded as if
    this were the first time it was run, and assigned it
    session :1. I added this to
    /etc/sysconfig/vncservers. The system continues to
    start Xvnc successfully at startup, but it only
    returns a successful start for :2, not :1, and I
    cannot remote in on :1.

    I can work with this, as I have it working on :2, and
    can probably set up additional sessions.

    But I hate unsolved mysteries, especially when it
    comes to my computers. So I wish I could figure out
    what is wrong with vnc on :1.
