This RH setup has several problems: The user must have started vncviewer manually at least once to get the base configuration. This is no problem, it's only once and will work in the end. The vncservers are only started once, at boot. After vncserver dies, it will not be restarted. automatically.The scripts used rely on $PATH settings as if logged in at the system. Since this vncserver is started at boot time from init (/etc/rcX.Y is part of this init), it gets the $PATH from init. This is a limited one. Hence the scripts must somehow be altered. The environment you get in this vnc environment is just as limited since the user is not logged in.

Use the setup at http://www.sourcecodecorner.com/articles/vnc/linux.asp. THat gives a complete login as if at the local console. It is started at the moment it is used. There is no user space specific configuration so every user can use it.
