VNC Server - won't start

Hi All,

If you edit your .vnc/xstartup in your home directory and uncomment the 
two lines below, you will launch vnc in your defautl session manager 
(gnome or kde). Works great for me.

# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
