I'm no expert on VNC, but one thing I noticed recently is that when VNC
starts up a new X session it looks for you're ~/.xsession file (which
describes which applications to start, and finally, what window manager
to run). I typically start X using 'startx' and keep this information
in ~/.xinitrc. So I couldn't figure out why my VNC sessions were always
using strange and broken window managers. Once I copied my ~/.xinitrc
-> ~/.xsession, my VNC sessions look like my normal X windows sessions.
