It tells you to just compile the tulip.c file with a gcc command but you need some headers that are not there resulting in compile errors out the wazzu.

It is a "missing" file, but an unimportant one. First, this missing file has nothing to do with your VNC problem. Next, if the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop contains the word "GNOME", and you have Gnome installed, then that will be your default desktop environment. If it says "KDE", and you have KDE installed, that will be your default desktop environment. If that file does not exist, and you have both KDE and GNOME, it will default to KDE (bah!). If you do not have KDE or GNOME installed, and that file does not exist, it tries to run AnotherLevel. If that fails, it tries FVWM2.
