VNC (or X ) problem

At work I have two identical PC both with Suse 10.2 (64bit).
I decided to give Remote Administration (VNC) a try with both,
since now I'm at home on a winXP notebook.
Connecting with ssh (I use cygwin) I invoked yast and I enabled
Remote Administration, that also opened the relative ports on
the firewall. The system told me to issue a specific command
(I forgot which one) to restart the X session.
To be sure, I remotely reboot both machines.
Then I tried to connect with a browser (port 5801) and
with a VNC client (port 5901).
On one of the machines everything went well.
On the other one (theorically identical, but the one I actually use,
so maybe with more packages installed) everything I got
on both ports, after I'm asked for root password, is
the grayish screen with the moving X mouse pointer, and
I cannot do anything about it (It remembers me the appearance
I got sometimes when I messed up with the X server in my Debian days).
Clearly and unfortunately I'm not an X expert, presently.
Do you have any idea about the nature of the problem,
(or where to look to see what the problem is) and a suggestion
for a solution ?
I used this machine with Gnome until friday without a problem,
so I hope that a simple reboot has not messed it up...)
I fear to go back at work on monday only to find
that the "greyish X screen of hell" it is not a VNC exlusive ...
thanks,
giovanni.
