VNC trouble
I have been having issues with VNC. I have been gettining a lot of errors but mostly gray screens and some black screens. I think this may also be a gnome error. I know that the xstartup file is the file to look at.

Code:
> more ~/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
gnome-session&
gnome-terminal --geometry 80x24+10+10 --title="My Desktop" &
gnome-panel &
nautilus &

The gray screen problem is only on some of the aervers and not all. Also My home directory is NFS mounted across all the servers.

The OS that I'm using is Solaris 9, Solaris 10 and Red hat 5.5. Most of the error happened after I added my account and the NFS mount for my home directory to the Red Hat server. though the Solaris 10 server had a gray screen before this.

At this time the VNC is working on the Solaris 9 server. The Solaris 10 server just shows a gray screen and the RHEL server has a black screen and lots of pop ups with errors. I believe the Solaris box and RHEL server are overwriting some of the files and this maybe what is causing the some of the problems. I have anther local account that is on the Red Hat box, that is using VNC, and it work perfectly.

Anyway I have been looking for the solution if you have any info that can help that would be great.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       [server][::port|:display]
	      Specifies the VNC server to connect to. The VNC server can be either a hostname, or an IP address. If the server is an IPv6 address,
	      it must be enclosed by square brackets. The address can optionally be followed by two colons (::) and the VNC port number, or alter-
	      natively by one colon (:) and the display where Vinagre should run. If a port is not specified, default value of 5900 will be  used.
	      If  the value is lower than 1024, 5900 will be added to it. For example, ":0" means "5900" and ":1" means ":5901". If only a port is
	      specified, but not the hostname, localhost will be assumed.  Possible values for the display are between 0 and 1024.  If	a  display
	      number greater than 1024 is specified, it will be assumed to be a port.  Note that you can't specify the port and the display at the
	      same time.

       Example 1: Start vinagre from the command line

       example% vinagre
