I assume the script that it uses for startup is the xstartup script which
looks like this

#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startkde &

But there may be another script I don't know about that its using for
startup. I know we aren't supposed to use root as the user name. But for
intial setup we assumed it was the easiest seen as it didn't have any
limitations. 

Thanks and I'd be grateful if you could correct me on anything im doing
wrong.

What script are you trying to start VNC with?  Does it work for a regular
user instead of "root"?
