This is probably a display resolution issue. What display format (bits per
pixel) are the X console and X VNC desktops using? I'd bet they're subtley
different. An easy way to check is to start the X VNC desktop as normal,
then vncviewer to it from the X console. vncviewer will display format
information for both displays.
