Ben:
You were right. Thanks.
One other related question. If I log out my VNC session from X, it
won't restart. I can drop a VNC connection and resume it, but if I logout
is there anyway to restart this without restarting the vncserver service
(assuming I have other ssh or telnet access since I'm now dead)?

The other thing you need to do is to edit ~/.vnc/xstartup to look something
like:
#!/bin/sh
# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
unset SESSION_MANAGER
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
Then restart your vnc server (probably with 'service vncserver restart')
That should fix the problem.
