Did you "unset SESSION_MANAGER"? Gnome won't let you run two instances of
itself unless you issue that command before starting Gnome in VNC.
Alternatively you can try using the KDE desktop instead. Apparently it
doesn't mind running two instances of itself.
The fact that you haven't made the changes to autostart at boot might
actually be the problem. If the VNC server was to startup on boot, there
would not be another instance of Gnome running to interfere.
Finally, don't forget to check the *.log files in your .vnc directory for
hints on what might be causing the problem.
