Well, for every one that chooses to edit xstartup, it's been my experience that there are 100 more that will submit a support request asking why they don't get Gnome/KDE in their VNC session, which is why we added the additional lines that attempt to load the default window manager. Perhaps they're broken in Fedora 11. However, you can simply comment out everything above
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources to get back the old behavior. If it's still broken, then that means it was broken before we added the xstartup patch.
