Is THIS VNC?

[Michael D. Setzer II]

What you are seeing is the default setting, which I don't know why it 
is the default. Go into the .vnc/xstartup file and there is a comment 
that says to uncomment the next to lines for a normal desktop. 
They are an unset and exec command. You then kill and restart the 
vncserver session, and it will then give you a full desktop. 

As a note, there is a service called vncserver that you can activate, 
and it would with the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file. You add a line at 
the bottom.
VNCSERVERS="port:userid"

On reboot, it will then automatically load the vncserver for that user 
on that port. Note: doesn't work for root (at least not by default)"
You can also specify more than one user
VNCSERVERS="port1:userid1 port2:userid2 etc"
I had one machine setup with 15 vnc sessions to show a class.
