Windows to Linux remote console using VNC brings up blank console screen with only mouse pointer

SmilieWindows to Linux remote console using VNC brings up blank console screen with only mouse pointer-capturepngHi

This was installed on the Linux box a few weeks back by a guy that no longer works for us. All worked fine until last week. Now when we connect its just a blank screen with no icons.

I get a whole bunch of errors when starting the service too:

Code:

NAME
gnomemeeting - H323 Videoconferencing for UN*X SYNOPSIS
gnomemeeting [-d] DESCRIPTION
GnomeMeeting is a H.323 Video Conferencing application which uses the H.323 protocol (provided by the OpenH323 library). It can connect to a variety of other H323 applications including Microsoft NetMeeting. It also supports ILS (the Microsoft version of LDAP) and XDAP servers. GnomeMeeting can work with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure audio communications or traditionnal audio+video communications. GnomeMeeting has been designed for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its userdata. It offers to configure almost every option from within the GUI. The only relevant command-line option is -d to turn on debugging during calls. OPTIONS
-d turn on debugging (on the console) FILES
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnomemeeting/ The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details on gconf. (The actual place can differ depending on your system's configuration) ~/.gconf/apps/gnomemeeting Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further details. ENVIRONMENT
On startup GnomeMeeting reads the system-wide gconf schemas (like every other GNOME2 app should do) from /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps. Every modification of the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor is reflected in real- time by GnomeMeeting. DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may occur: Please check your gconf settings and permissions, it seems that gconf is not properly setup on your system gconfd-1 is running and you're trying to start gnomemeeting > 0.91 which needs gconfd-2 -> kill gconfd-1 and try again your gconf-dir isn't set to mode 4755 -> set chmod -R 4755 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults More problems are described in greater detail in the FAQ and Mailinglist-archive (see BUGS and GETTING HELP). BUGS
Currently some users are still experiencing problems with gconf, as the gconf-utilization is newly introduced in GNOME2. Hopefully this will be solved once GNOME2 is shipped with all major distributions with working gconf setup. See bugzilla on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gnomemeeting to obtain the current list of bugs. GETTING HELP
