Your problem isn't with Gnome... You are using twm as your default window
manager... You can change it (as people already said) in your
${HOME}/.vnc/xstartup. Or you could start the service (service, not program)
vncserver for the entire box. Connecting to it will bring you to a login
screen, rather to your crude, barebone desktop...
If I am not mistaken, you can change twm for gnome-wm in your xstartup file
to bring up gnome.

Scripture is both history, and a love letter from God.
Just to second this, replacing "twm &" with "gnome-wm &" in
~/.vnc/xstartup will give you the Gnome window manager. To take it a
step further, if you want the Gnome menus, panels and such (full Gnome
desktop), replace with "gnome-session &".

Subject: Re: Getting Gnome to behave
That's when the fun starts - every window that opens starts as a
'skeleton
like grid' attached to the mouse pointer - wherever I left-click the
real
window is placed. This behavior is annoying and I can't figure out
how
to
get it to behave as one would expect. Much Googling hasn't
enlightened
me
either.
Can anyone help me out here ??

Edit ${HOME}/.vnc/xstartup to change your window manager.
