    The other thing you need to do is to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to look something
    like:

    #!/bin/sh

    # Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
    unset SESSION_MANAGER
    exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

    Then restart your vnc server (probably with 'service vncserver restart')

    That should fix the problem.
