I have, for 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" &
twm &
================================================================

I have for /etc/sysconfig/vncserver:
================================================================
VNCSERVERS="66:root 3:dant"
VNCSERVERARGS[3]="-geometry 1280x1024"
VNCSERVERARGS[66]="-geometry 1280x1024"
================================================================

My vnc logs  show:
================================================================

 vncext:      VNC extension running!
 vncext:      Listening for VNC connections on port 5903
 vncext:      Listening for HTTP connections on port 5803
 vncext:      created VNC server for screen 0
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct
================================================================

1) Why am I getting the unix/:7100 error and what is "nil2" ?
   Is this a problem?

2) When I try to connect using vncviewer on my windows box and
   use the entry: linux:5903:3, I get the error:
   Failed to connect to server: linux:3

3) Is it possible that I am being firewalled blocked or something?

One other thing.  Since I had a heckuva time trying to figure out
how to open the vnc ports using iptables, I opted to use the
firestarter package and open the vnc ports there.  I hope this
program does not conflict with the iptables firewall.  I have used
this program in FC4 and it worked like a charm.
