The reason I use VNC is because not every machine in my house is a Linux box.  With VNC Client, I can access my Linux desktop from my Windows machines.  I know you can use any browser to access a VNC server but the performance is much better with VNC Client.

Now for the VNC problem.  I'm running the version of VNC that comes with FC3 and here's what you need to do:
1) Enable and start vncserver in Services.
2) Change to the .vnc directory in your mythuser directory.
3) Edit the file xstartup.
4) The last line of the file probably says "twm &" which will start the TWM window manager for your VNC session.  Change it to "startdke &" or "gnome-session &" or whatever the start command is for the window manager you want to use and save the file.
5) Go back to Services and restart vncserver.

Ok, this is drifting a bit OT, but I'm going to strike while the iron
is hot. I've got my backend machine set up and pretty much working, but
it is going in the closet so I don't have to listen to it. I need to
get VNC working. In the past when I was running FC1, I just did apt-get
for TightVNC and I was all set. Starting a VNC server and connecting
yielded me my complete KDE/Gnome/WhateverWM desktop.

Now that I'm running FC3, TightVNC doesn't seem to be available, and
when I connect using the already installed vncserver, all I get is a
minimalist TWM environment.

How to get a full-on desktop? I'm suspecting I need to edit one or more
of the X config files, but I'm clueless. If there's a FAQ for this one,
please point me to it.

    

Why do people keep mentioning VNC? Why not just use ssh? If you want a
login, just use XDMCP
