Roberto & others,

OK.  startxfce4 given interactively on the server
starts the GUI.  Try this as the content of
~/.vnc/xstartup.

#!/bin/sh

xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
# x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls \
#                     -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startxfce4

In this case, the vnc client opens an empty viewer.
So the bare "startxfce4" command is not working.

Why does this fail?   How should it be fixed?

Thanks,      ... Peter E.
