What you are seeing is the default setting, which I don't know why it
is the default. Go into the .vnc/xstartup file and there is a comment
that says to uncomment the next to lines for a normal desktop.
They are an unset and exec command. You then kill and restart the
vncserver session, and it will then give you a full desktop.
As a note, there is a service called vncserver that you can activate,
and it would with the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file. You add a line at
the bottom.
VNCSERVERS="port:userid"
On reboot, it will then automatically load the vncserver for that user
on that port. Note: doesn't work for root (at least not by default)"
You can also specify more than one user
VNCSERVERS="port1:userid1 port2:userid2 etc"
I had one machine setup with 15 vnc sessions to show a class.
