I have just installed VNC on a Linux box (Debian Woody) that I am going to
run without a monitor and keyboard. If I start the server on the Linux box
then I can log-in from windows and see the KDE desktop, however I needed to
be able to have it listening for connections so I have followed the
instructions here:

and I can now start vnc up by asking for a connection from my windows
machine, however it starts up with the grey screen and cursor. I've read
various solutions to this problem however most of them seem to point to
files that aren't on my system.
I have xdm and kdm installed, and I just grabbed twm to see if it would
help however the problem is still the same. I installed the vncserver via
apt from the testing packages, I'm not sure what version that gives me.
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated, I'm sure I'm not
far off I just can't see to find a file that will let me tell vnc to give
me a login.
