you do this in your xstartup script, depending on which user id you're using
to run the vncserver will determine where your xstartup script is located,
e.g. if you run the vncserver as root then the script will normally be found
in /root/.vnc
once you've found the script you should find that it looks something like
the following:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title somebodys Desktop
twm &
all you need to do is replace the last line "twm &" with the command to
start your
preferred window manager, e.g. blackbox would be:
blackbox &
you could also take out the line "xterm -geometry ..." if you do not want an
xterm
loaded up everytime the server is started........
hope this helps
