Hey Scott,

Sounds like you're hitting your first xorg vnc configuration.  You will 
need to checkout a file called /root/.vnc/xstartup and comment out 
everything except the line that invokes the session you want.  Also, you 
may want to look into adjusting your ssh session resolution.  Holler 
back if you need help but just doing a search on your system vnc* should 
help you find that config file.
