You probable need to look at the xstartup file in the .vnc (period vnc) 
directory in the users home directory. The file has a statement that you need 
to uncomment two lines to get the normal screen? Don't know why that isn't 
the default. 

The Fedora has changed to another vnc program that can be loaded by yum 
install vncserver, and that is what I  setup on my Fedora 11 systems.
