VNC Connection aborts with no error message

[Ferindo Middleton Jr]

    The vncserver itself gets started as a regular service during boot 
up... or rather it listens as a daemon for incoming requests and then 
gets started when one comes in... When I upgraded from FC3 last weekend 
I didn't really have to configure the vncserver.... it was installed by 
default... I use graphical clients to connect to it... there's the 'VNC 
Viewer' vnc client in the Accessories group in the Main Gnome  program  
listing... and then I use  a graphical VNC Viewer on a Windows 2000 
machine on my local network...
    Everything worked fine with FC3 and it worked 'ok' at first when the 
installation of the FC4 completed last weekend but then it just suddenly 
started abruptly closing the window whenever I try to make a connection
... I wish I knew where the log file was located. I guess I'm not going 
to really know what's going on until I see the log file

Thanks for your input.
