It's basically a remote X. Put whatever you want to startup in your ~/.vnc/xstartup file.
If you want a gnome-session, put that into it. If you only wanted an xclock, you can have that.
This is a Linux environment... you make it into whatever you want it to be... You only want a term... you can have that... you want a flashy desktop, which a bunch of applets etc, you can have that.
Vivre la difference! Linux gives you the choice!

Also, one should add that KDE has a internal vnc server (reachable through the control panel) that will share the session you're currently logged in. Gnome can do the same under the preferences -> Remote Desktop... Both of these can be accessed with a vnc viewer easily.
My goal is to use Gnome and have the same GUI that I'm used to on my desktop. I edited the "./vnc/xstartup" file on the server. There were two lines that said something like "For a normal desktop uncomment the following two lines." I did that, but nothing. I did not see anything in there to start Gnome however.
Shouldn't there be?
Thanx, Ryan
Did you restart your vnc server service ?
