That's when the fun starts - every window that opens starts as a
'skeleton
like grid' attached to the mouse pointer - wherever I left-click the
real
window is placed. This behavior is annoying and I can't figure out
how
to
get it to behave as one would expect. Much Googling hasn't
enlightened
me
either.
Can anyone help me out here ??

Re: Getting Gnome to behave
Your problem isn't with Gnome... You are using twm as your default window
manager... You can change it (as people already said) in your
${HOME}/.vnc/xstartup. Or you could start the service (service, not program)
vncserver for the entire box. Connecting to it will bring you to a login
screen, rather to your crude, barebone desktop...
If I am not mistaken, you can change twm for gnome-wm in your xstartup file
to bring up gnome.

Just to second this, replacing twm with gnome-wm in
~/.vnc/xstartup will give you the Gnome window manager. To take it a
step further, if you want the Gnome menus, panels and such (full Gnome
desktop), replace with gnome-session .

Getting Gnome to behave
Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. I have access to a RHEL5 system running as a guest under zVM5.3 As I am not very familiar with the Linux command set I thought I would take the easy way out and use the GUI approach. I putty to the RHEL system and have started a VNCSERVER session. When I point my VNC Viewer at this instance from a Windows box I get a crude desktop with an Xterm window. Into that Xterm I issue gnome-session. That's when the fun starts - every window that opens starts as a 'skeleton like grid' attached to the mouse pointer - wherever I left-click the real window is placed. This behavior is annoying and I can't figure out how to get it to behave as one would expect. Much Googling hasn't enlightened me either. Can anyone help me out here ??
