I consider this a bug in Mandrake, but I am too lazy to report it.
It is a "missing" file, but an unimportant one.
First, this missing file has nothing to do with your VNC problem.
Next, if the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop contains the word
"GNOME", and you have Gnome installed, then that will be your default
desktop environment. If it says "KDE", and you have KDE installed, that
will be your default desktop environment.
If that file does not exist, and you have both KDE and GNOME, it
will default to KDE (bah!).
If you do not have KDE or GNOME installed, and that file does not
exist, it tries to run AnotherLevel. If that fails, it tries FVWM2. See
the file /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients for the exact script I'm talking about.
Regarding the VNC problem, try restarting your Windows box...?
