CDE on AIX and vnc,nothing works

On other unix systems,simply set "dtsession" on .xstartup file of vnc
start the cde session.
On aix i have this problem when i start the session,appear only an error message

Code:
The DT messaging system could not be started
    to correct the problem
    1. Choose ok to return to the login screen
    2. Select Failsave session from the login screen's option menu and login.
    3. Check to see that the hostname is correct in:
    /etc/hosts
    Other hostname problems can be corrected by using the command:
    smit mktcpip
    4. For additional info, see the DT User's Guide.

I make some checks
hostname report correct hostname OK
hostname -s report correct hostname short OK
dig myhostname report correctly,also dig -x ip report OK
I have set also order local,bind in /etc/netsvc.conf
I forgot,i'm on vnc,and i have set xstartup like this

Code:
xsetroot -solid grey
    vncconfig -iconic &
    #xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
    
    exec /usr/dt/bin/dtsession &

As suggested here
i also did

Code:
    cp /usr/dt/appconfig/types/C/* ~/.dt/types/

But nothing

Any suggestion?
Thanks

start with a fresh .vnc
