Why replace the whole OS to fix one relatively minor subsystem? A safer
way to the same result might be this one-liner:

for i in `rpm -qa | grep vnc`; do rpm -qc $i; done

Then go look at the files that are listed -- particularly looking for
*.rpmnew or *.~.

Another option is to urpme all your vnc packages, rename or delete any
vnc config in /etc or your home directory, then urpmi the vnc packages
you want.
