For what it's worth, here's my ~/.vnc/xstartup file:

#!/bin/sh                              
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
exec gnome-session &

There's probably a similar exec for XFCe.

VNC is kicked off on display 1 here:

 more /etc/sysconfig/vncservers
VNCSERVERS="1:myuserid"
