Does anyone have any recommendations as to the proper way
to set up VNC servers for F8?
1. stick to realvnc. tightvnc collapses when switching to/from
fullscreen (several distros) (I forget which direction).
2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/vncservers to taste. The 2 in
VNCSERVERARGS[2] is
the screen number (2) in VNCSERVERS="2:myusername"
More generally, to find configuration files
rpm -qc <package>
and documentation
rpm -qd <package>
and for more rpm magic
rpm -qd rpm
Gah! ;)
My /etc/sysconfig/vncserver file:
VNCSERVERS="2:dant"
VNCSERVERARGS[2]="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 24"
This is the errors I am seeing in my log file:

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.

(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

It works fine, I've done quite a bit logged in (from an SL5 system) as
root (using KDE), and I've just verified that logging in as summer(twm)
works.
To try with KDE:
[root@potoroo ~]# cat .vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
# Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
# unset SESSION_MANAGER
# exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
exec startkde
twm &
[root@potoroo ~]#
