Oskar, Assuming that you're killing your previous VNC servers with vncserver -kill, rather than just repeatedly connecting to the same one, you're getting a seemingly persistent "grey X session" because your chosen window manager isn't actually running. Check the VNC server's log file for error messages from the window or session manager.
