Public bug reported:

package: vnc4server
release: lucid (10.04 server)
window manager: kde (kubuntu-desktop)

When running:
   vnc4server :2

The user gets a gray X-windows server with no window manager running.

A look in the vnc log file captured by vnc4server for the client yields this:

   VNCSConnST:  Server default pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian

   VNCSConnST:  Client pixel format depth 16 (16bpp) little-endian rgb565

What am I suppose to do to fix this?

Eventually I would like it to run on boot and provide a kdm login screen. But 
can
you help me fix this basic problem to start?
