Sounds like the problem is not the viewer, but the server. That description
typically means you don't have a window manager running. Not being familiar
with Debian or how it starts VNC, I can only say that RedHat/Fedora have the
following script in ~/.vnc:

#!/bin/sh

# Red Hat Linux VNC session startup script
exec /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

That executes your default / preferred window manager and gives you your
desktop. See if Debian doesn't have something similar.

Subject: Problems with OSX/Debian


Hello,

I am having problems connecting to Xvnc from Mac OS X.  I am running 
vncserver on a debian box.  When I try to connect with VNCThing or 
VNCViewer the desktop that pops up is just a gray box.  With the X 
cursor.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.
