Operating Systems Linux VNC Server, brings up really basic Xwindows Post 302161986 by *ptr on Sunday 27th of January 2008 09:57:13 AM

Hi

search a bit in the vncserver man page....
but as a quick start-point, in the ~/.vnc directory you should have the xstartup script... in that file you should replace the basic window manager with a line like:
gnome-session& for the gnome desktop environment, or the desired window-manager/desktop environment startup script


Regards
