same here on my rh6.0 my change to the fvnc script is a little simpler
and more correct in case the lock files you are using are not
cleaned up correctly:
i simply replaced grep Xwrapper with grep /etc/X11/X
works like a charm.
to make the script work on anything (anyone listening?) you
should grep for Xwrapper and if not found then grep for /etc/X11/X
