What you are seeing is the default desktop for the VNC Server, TWM. You are probably used to using KDE or Gnome, so here is how to change it:
1) Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup 2) For KDE, replace "twm &" with "startkde &" 3) For Gnome, replace "twm &" with "exec gnome-session &" 4) Kill any existing VNC servers with "vncserver -kill :xxx" where xxx is the display number. 5) Start a new server.
