Hi Grant, Using xfce4 should just be a case of modifying your xstartup file to use it instead of twm, and running vncserver to generate a desktop running xfce4. The wiki entry you refer to is all to do with building a "terminal server" using VNC & xinetd - you don't need to do any of that stuff if all you want is a VNC session with xfce4 running in it - you can just start the session manually.
