Have you tried installing the vino package? It seems to do exactly what you are 
wanting. It looks like when you start vncserver the .xsession file for it 
doesn't have a window manager setup to start or perhaps it has a really basic 
one like tab. I haven't used vncserver in a few years, so I forget how you 
define its equivalent of .xsession, sorry.
