Russel, It's most probably because the desktop environment you're using uses the SESSION_MANAGER environment variable, so that when you run "vncserver", your applications are all talking to the session manager for the desktop on which you ran it, rather than the desktop it created.
You can fix this by adding "unset SESSION_MANAGER" as the first command in your ~/.vnc/xstartup file.
