Jerry,

Thanks for your email. I looked into my ~/.vnc and its original conetent 
is :
# 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 &

So I commented out the last four lines and add startkde and the log 
showed startkde could not find. I use Fedora's Gnome.

Then I looked at the comment at the begginging of the file and 
uncommented out the first two commands unset and exec, then I get the 
real desktop.


The remote desktop is a little bit small, so I went into 
/etc/sysconfig/vncserver and change the geometry there.

Now it works great.

Thanks everybody. I could fix my vnc, and I learned about freenx.
