[K12OSN] xfce and vnc Solved

[David M. Rogers]

I got it figured out, sorta. Actually I got it working. I decided I was 
beating my head up against the wall. So I started from scratch. I 
deleted all the files in ~/.vnc, killed the service and set it up again. 
When I edited the .vnc file, this is all it contains:

#!/bin/sh
startxfce4 &

I restarted everything and now it is working fine.
