vnc xstartup File

Hello everyone I'm new to linux scripting, but I do have experience with Java programming and batch file scripting in Windows. I'm trying to setup the xstartup file for a machine that I have on my network that is running Lubuntu. On Ubuntu's VNC HowTo page they have a script that will configure a VNC session for Gnome and KDE, but they don't have one for Lubuntu's LXDE desktop envirment. I would write the script myself, but I don't understand what this script is doing.

# Try a GNOME session, or fall back to KDE
if [ "GNOME" = "$MODE" ]
then
if which gnome-session >/dev/null
then
gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d &
else
MODE="KDE"
fi
fi

I have three questions?

1. Is the gnome-session a file or a service?

2. What is this script doing when it's telling the gnome session to empty itself into the null device?

3. What does the "&" symbol mean in Linux scripting?

NAME
jsadebugd - serviceability agent debug daemon SYNOPSIS
jsadebugd [pid] [server-id] jsadebugd executable core [server-id] DESCRIPTION
jsadebugd attaches to a Java process or core file and acts as a debug server. Remote clients such as jstack, jmap, and jinfo can attach to the server using Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Before starting jsadebugd, rmiregistry must be started with: rmiregistry -J-Xbootclasspath/p:$JAVA_HOME/lib/sajdi.jar where $JAVA_HOME is the J2SE SDK installation directory. If rmiregistry was not started, jsadebugd will start an rmiregistry in a standard (1099) port internally. Debug server may be stopped by sending SIGINT (pressing Ctrl-C) to it. NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in future versions of the J2SE SDK. jinfo is not currently available on Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform. PARAMETERS
pid process id of the process to which the debug server should attach. The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes running on a machine, jps may be used. At most one instance of the debug server may be attached to a single process. executable Java executable from which the core dump was produced. core core file to which the debug server should attach. server-id optional unique id, needed if multiple debug servers are started on the same machine. This ID must be used by remote clients to identify the particular debug server to attach. Within a single machine, this ID must be unique. SEE ALSO
