As I said it could be related to the value of HOME not agreeing with
what is in /etc/passwd.
Do the following two commands:
grep curtis /etc/passwd
echo $HOME
on my system I get:
$ grep bijan /etc/passwd
bijan:x:1000:1000:Bijan Soleymani,,,:/home/bijan:/bin/bash
$ echo $HOME
/home/bijan
As you can see the in both cases my home directory is /home/bijan.
If they were different it could cause problems if a program checked
the wrong one.
As a last try you could try setting home explicitly before running
vncserver:
for sh/ash/bash:
HOME=/home/curtis
export HOME
for csh/tcsh:
setenv HOME /home/curtis
Hope this solves your problem,
Bijan
