The lines that start with an x can be removed (they just start other stuff
you don't need if you start gnome).

You are inside a gnome sesision and start vncserver which tries to start an
other gnome session. Gnome cannot run inside gnome. You can avoid that with
one fo the next ways:

setup as on http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp (my
favorite)

login without gnome. Looks funny but try one of the next: `rsh localhost
vncserver` or `rlogin localhost` `telnet localhost` and start vncserver at
that prompt.

REmove all gnome settings before starting gnome: In the xstartup script,
unset all gnome environment variables.
