I tried this a few months back after not using vnc for over a year and
couldn't get it to work. I tried again last night when I first saw this
and couldn't get it to work. I just tried it and now it works again.

First I created xstartup like this (using icewm-should work with other-i
used to run kde from vnc):

#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
icewm &
gnome-session

The 'xterm -geometry......' stuff was just something I added a long time
ago for some reason.

Then I started the server with:

$ vncserver -depth 16

After that it worked. I can't explain why it didn't in any of my other
recent attempts.
