I'm using a trick I've just learned to try triggering VNC sessions from xinetd. See for more info:
http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=6286
My own configuration is included below.
The problem:
Launching xvncviewer :50 gives me an X session and a wdm login
screen, however, I can't log in. I get the following message in
/var/log/daemon:
Aug 22 15:25:46 localhost wdm: wdm pipe read error with program
/usr/bin/X11/wdm Login, wdm terminating
I run wdm as my standard X display manager, and can log in from the
console via X.
Anyone else have any luck with this, or ideas on how to proceed?
