GOod Morning:

Recently, our department upgraded hardware for our RedHat 8.0 proxy server.  This 
involved a new hard drive configuration.  Therefore, we had to reinstall RedHat 8.0, 
as well as VNC.  Since then, I cannot get either KDE or Gnome to work properly with 
VNC.  We are using VNC 3.3.6.  I've been trying several different configurations for 
the xstartup file.  However, there has been no success yet.  What I do get is a blank 
grey screen or a green-grey screen with one incomplete (in apperance) terminal window. 
 

Here are some variations of xstartup that I have been trying:

#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
startkde &

#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session &

#!/bin/sh
startkde &

#!/bin/sh
gnome-session &

I have noticed that some people add a "exec" before the "gnome-session &."  I've tried 
that as well.   

Perhaps the problem is somewhere else.  The last time I set up VNC, I got KDE working 
fine with no problem.  I was never able to get Gnome to work.  When we were on RedHat 
7.3, I got VNC up and running with both Gnome or KDE in just minutes.  It seems my 
luck with VNC is regressing.  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Tim
