.vnc/xstartup is created by vncserver the first time you run it. Edit
~/.vnc/xstartup and comment out everything except something like this
(commented out lines are different options I've tried):

## Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
#unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
#exec gnome-session
#exec gnome-wm
#exec wmaker
exec twm &
exec uxterm -geometry 80x60 &
#exec gnome-terminal --geometry 80x60 &
exec mozilla --geometry 640x480 &
