Thanks.

Mike:
I use Gnome, not Xvnc, on my desktop, and I'm by no means an
expert, but my understanding is that Xvnc is an X server, and in
general, U should only have one of those running. My guess is that
Xvnc is your X server, and U're running IceWM as your window
manager on :1. Probably, the X startup/login script (~/.xinitrc?)
is launching Gnome (on the first available screen, perhaps?), and U
need to remove or comment out those commands to conserve resources.
U would also be able to run IceWM on :0 instead of :1.
HTH!
