What distribution? Also, are you already logged in locally? If so, KDE and
Gnome both have a problem with having the same user logged in twice... they
just don't like that. That being said, in RedHat-based distributions
(RedHat, Fedora, CentOS [I'd imagine]) there should be an executable file in
the .vnc directory called "xstartup" which looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
If you don't have that, you'll likely have a problem similar to what you're
describing...

Subject: Fedora Code 1 getting actual desktop to load
Hey guys,
I am having a hard time getting my actual liunx (GNOME / KDE) desktop to
load. I can connect to the linux box from a remote location but it will
only load an Xwindows type screen. How do i change the display to load
Gnome or KDE?
Thanks in advance,
Joe D

John,
Thanks, I got it working yesterday. For some reason when I was starting
vncserver it wasn't creating the xstartup file. I finally got it to
create it and just had to change one line from twm & to gnome-session &
and it fired right up. I'll throw the cat in here just incase anyone
else is having a similar problem.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] dbag]$ cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twm &
gnome-session &
Thanks for the help!
Joe D
