I changed /etc/sysconfig/vncservers like this
----------->
VNCSERVERS="1:roland"
VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 800x600 -nolisten tcp -depth 8 -nohttpd  
-localhost -alwaysshared"
<------------
then I did: vncpasswd (for roland)

then  I started the vncserver: service vncserver start which gave:
---------->
Starting VNC server: 1:roland
New 'gdfecurie.gdf.fr:1 (roland)' desktop is gdfecurie.gdf.fr:1

Creating default startup script /home/roland/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/roland/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/roland/.vnc/gdfecurie.gdf.fr:1.log

                                                           [  OK  ]
<----------
then I started the session with 192.168.100.241:1
which gave the same result :-(

Any ideas?
