You are running your service as "nobody", and the howm dir for nobody is
"/". The VNC server process needs to write to $HOME/.vnc to start. I
used to do this a long time ago, so I don't remember for certain, but
you may need to create a /.vnc directory and make it writable by
nobody...
Or, it may be that you need to make sure /etc/vnc/xstartup is correctly
defined to start your X desktop session appropriately. Also, if it
isn't, you may need to remove (or edit) the /.vnc/xstartup file (copied
from /etc/vnc on initial start of Xvnc).
Hope that helps.
Kevin

I am tryiong to configure vnc on a new RHEL6 system.
Like on RHEL 5 systems I adminster I set it up as a service via xinetd.
My xinetd.d entry /etc/xinetd.d/vnc says
service vnc
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
group = tty
wait = no
user = nobody
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc
server_args = -inetd :2 -query localhost -geometry 1200x900
-depth 16 -fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/ -securitytypes=none
flags = REUSE
}
and in /etc/services I define service vnc as
vnc 5901/tcp
When I connect to the vnc service, I get a black empty x11 root window,
but nothing visible on it.
What I would like to get is a gnome login
On my RHEL5 systems where I have basically the same setup but also a
confuration for xdmcp for X-terminals I get a login screen for a full
gnome session with vnc.
What do I have to do to get the same on RHEL 6 ?
