Michael, Please refer to the "vncserver" documentation (http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/man/vncserver.html) for details on changing what session manager & programs are run in your VNC desktops by default.
Please refer to the "Xvnc" documentation (http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/man/Xvnc.html) for details on changing the colour depth of your VNC desktops. Alternatively, you may wish to use the vnc.so module to access your console X display remotely (http://www.realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/x0.html).
