I am sorry. You do not have to explicitly start VNC Servers. dtlogin starts them for you when you put Xvnc commands for different display numbers in the Xservers config file. Also I had a problem with logging out because dtlogin sends out a SIGTERM to kill Xvnc which it ignores. Then dtlogin tries to start Xvnc which would conflict with the unfinished Xvnc. You can fix this by either writing a wrapper perl script to catch sigterm and kill Xvnc with SIGINT ( The way I did which I will be posting shortly ) or you can edit a dtlogin config file to change the signal to be sent. You have to refer to the manpage of dtlogin for this.
