VNC newbie question

Using Redhat ES 3.0 on the server side, I can get the basic viewing
part working, but only with the default twm window manager.
This box launches Gnome by default, and I'd like to have access to
the environment I see when logging-in locally. Can someone give me a
synopsis of what I have to change to see the usual Gnome desktop?
(Also, does this result in X/Gnome "running twice", ie taking up
double the amount of usual resources?)
Here is what is in ~/.vnc/xstartup currently (I tried uncommenting
as suggested in the file but it didn't appear to do anything):
#!/bin/sh
#Uncomment the following two lines for normal desktop:
#unset SESSION_MANAGER
#exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
twm &
I did see the following local log entries when the server initially
launched:
error opening security policy file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
fonts/CID/, removing from list!
BTW - there's nothing on the SxS site about VNC that I can see
either. :-)
TIA...
