I think your confusion lies in the fact that the screen you are describing a the "prompt" is actually an Xterm running on the Xvnc desktop. I would guess that you need to edit the ~/.vnc/xstartup file to start the Window Manager you usually use instead of starting twm. You shouldn't need to "startx" while in a VNC session because you are already running Xvnc.
