Actually, I managed to get vncserver to work for me, ie. loading Pekwm instead
of Gnome (yay!).
I tried adding the 'xset +fp ~/.fonts' to my ~/.xsession, but still no go. It
was creating the ~/.xsession file that originally allowed my to override the
global setting to load Gnome, so I can only assume that is the file that is the
'authority' in loading X.
